A cementoblast is a biological cell that forms from the follicular cells around the root of a tooth, and whose biological function is cementogenesis, which is the formation of cementum (hard tissue that covers the tooth root). (wikipedia.org)
Layer2
A surface resorption is initiated subsequent to injury of the cementoblast layer. (vin.com)
Additionally, in severe luxation injuries such as intrusions and avulsions with considerable mechanical damage to the cementoblast layer on the root surface, external infection-related root resorption may be an inevitable consequence. (pocketdentistry.com)
Differentiation1
Bone sialoprotein (BSP), an early phenotypic marker of osteoblast and cementoblast differentiation, has been implicated in the nucleation of hydroxyapatite during bone formation. (nyu.edu)
