| The fibres of the periodontal ligament attach through cementum to the dentine surface. |
| Thin-bladed curette-like tip used to remove heavy deposits and necrotic cementum on anteriors and premolars. |
| Dentin is a hard and calcified tissue of a tooth that is covered by enamel at the crown level, and by cementum at the root level. |
| Because the cementum is very thin, it doesn't take much pressure to wear away this surface and expose the inner substance, dentine. |
| Deposition of cementum continues throughout the life of the animal, especially in response to stresses. |
| Teeth-enamel is formed from the epiblast, and dentine, cementum, pulp from the mesoblast. |
