the layer of hard bone-like tissue covering the root of the tooth.
Bone-like material covering the root of a tooth and assisting in tooth support.
A layer of bone-like mineralized tissue that covers the roots of a tooth.
The calcified surface layer that covers a tooth root.
Holds the root of each tooth to the jawbone.
The hard, thin layer of tissue that covers the root of the tooth. The apical portion contains cementocyte (blasts).
Bony material that covers the root of a tooth and is not shielded by a layer of enamel.
The very thin covering over the root of the tooth. A condition that is continuous or persistent over an extended period of time. The opposite of acute . A chronic condition is one that is long-standing, not easily or quickly resolved.
The very thin, bonelike structure that covers the root of the tooth.
The external covering of the root surface. Cementum is softer than enamel.
layer of tissue covering the root surface of the tooth.
The thin, outermost mineralised layer covering the tooth root sufface. The periodontal ligament attaches to this sufface. When cementum is exposed, it can be very sensitive.
the dull yellow surface of a root
Covers the root, softer than enamel and dentin, thickness of a coat of paint, can be removed during scaling and planning
A covering that surrounds the root end of the tooth to protect it
It is a thin layer of bone-like tissue that protects the root of a tooth.
The bone-like tissue covering the root surfaces of the teeth. It functions to provide for the insertion of fibers of the periodontal membrane.
The hard layer of tooth structure that covers the root of the tooth
hard substance, also bonelike (though softer than dentine), which covers the root of the tooth.
A thin layer of dull yellow colored calcified tissue that has the hardness of bone and covers the root surface of the tooth, connecting the root to the jawbone.
The very thin covering over the tooth root.
The bony substance that covers the root of your tooth.
the outer covering of a tooth's root
Located at the root of the tooth, cementum serves as the anchor for the ligaments that join the tooth to the boney tooth socket. It softest part of the tooth structures.
The bonelike rigid connective tissue covering the root of a tooth from the cementoenamel junction to the apex and lining the apex of the root canal. ("Dorland's Illustrated Medical Dictionary," 24th Edition, W.B. Saunders Company, 1965.)
Specialized type of connective tissue that covers the tooth roots.
Hard tissue that covers the roots of teeth
The very thin covering over the root of the tooth (nerve dentin cementum).
a layer of tough, yellowish, bone-like tissue that covers the root of a tooth. It helps hold the tooth in the socket. The cementum contains the periodontal membrane.
outer surface of a tooth's roots.
hard connective tissue covering the tooth root.
a mineralized dental tissue which covers the dentine and causes the tooth or tusk to adhere to the jaw
The thin but tough layer that covers the roots of a tooth. (See Root).
A thin layer of calcified tissue that has the hardness of bone and covers the root surface of the tooth, connecting the root to the bone of the jaw. See "What are teeth made of?"
A calcified substance covering the root surface of a tooth. It is not as hard as enamel, which covers the surface of the crown. Periodontal ligaments connect the bone to the cementum on healthy teeth.
Substance found covering the roots of teeth
Cementum is a specialized bony substance covering the root of a tooth. Cementum is excreted by cells called cementoblasts within the root of the tooth and is thickest at the root apex. Its coloration is yellowish and it is softer than either dentin or enamel.
