6
Q

describe PDL development

A

as the PDL fibers are secreted they intermingle in the unmineralized matrices and then become trapped during mineralization. Fibers are added apically and change their orientation over time (oblique, horizontal, oblique)…ending with fibers embedded in the cementum are more coronal than those in the alveolar bone. Now they are more stable and can thicken after eruption.

Q

what is another name for the initial cementum matrix

A

fiber fringe…dense group of collagen fibers oriented at right angles to the DCJ..it extends into the unmineralized dentin matrix. longer as you go coronally bc they are more mature.

Q

describe the formation of the root dentin

A

predentin extends b/w the future DCJ and the pulp at the advancing root edge. more coronally, root dentin starts to mineralize and separates 2 regions of dentin: on the outside, unmineralized dentin and on the pulp side, predentin. even more coronally, the fringe fibers are enclosed completely by mineralized dentin

Q

secondary cementum

A

formed after at least half the root is formed…when emerging into the oral cavity, cellular, apical 2/3 of the root. overlies the primary cementum. deposited more rapidly. cementoblasts become trapped in the matrix and are now called cementocytes. less mineralized. more important in adaptation…thickens the most in response to occlusal forces

Q

cementinogenesis

A

fiber fringe layed down first and embedded in unmineralized dentin. dentin mineralizes more coronally, then discrete foci of 1’ cementum start to mineralize. the mineralized foci start to coalesce= initial layer of cementum or acellular extrinsic fiber cementum.
