Abstract:
Cementoblast attachment to original and reparative cementum as well as the mineralization pattern of the two tissues were studied ultrastructurally. Although differences were found in the mineralization pattern between the two types of cementum, cementoblasts attached to both with focal contacts, indicating a non-motile synthesizing state of the cells. It was concluded that the differences in morphology between the two types of cementum are only reflections of the rate with which they are formed.
