  • The Cementum: Its Role in Periodontal Health and Disease*
    THE JOURNAL OF PERIODONTOLOGY JULY, NINETEEN HUNDRED SIXTY ONE The Cementum: Its Role In Periodontal Health and Disease* by DONALD A. KERR, D.D.S., M.S.,** Ann Arbor, Michigan HE cementum is a specialized calcified tissue of mesenchymal origin which provides for the attachment of the periodontal fibers to the surface of the Troot. It consists of 45 to 50 per cent inorganic material and 50 to 55 per cent organic material with the inorganic material in a hydroxyl apatite structure. The primary cementum is formed initially by appositional growth from the dental sac and later from the periodontal membrane under the influence of cementoblasts. It is formed in laminated layers with the incorporation of Sharpey's fibers into a fibrillar matrix which undergoes calcification. Cementum deposition is a Continuous process throughout life with new cementum being deposited over the old cemental surface. Cementum is formed by the organiza• tion of collagen fibrils which are cemented together by a matrix produced by the polymerization of mucopolysaccharides. This material is designated as cementoid and becomes mature cementum upon calcification. The significance of the continuous deposition of cementum has received various interpretations. 1. Continuous deposition of cementum is necessary for the reattachment of periodontal fibers which have been destroyed or which require reorientation due to change in position of teeth. It is logical that there should be a continuous deposition of cementum because it is doubtful that the initial fibers are retained throughout the life of the tooth, and therefore new fibers must be continually formed and attached by new cementum.

This review reports classic and current literature to describe the available knowledge on regenerative peri-implant techniques. Abstract: The surgical techniques available to clinicians to treat peri-implant diseases can be divided into resective and regenerative. Peri-implant diseases are inflammatory conditions affecting the soft and hard tissues around dental implants. Despite the large number of investigations aimed at identifying the best approach to treat these conditions, there is still no universally recognized protocol to solve these complications successfully and predictably. This review will focus on the regenerative treatment of peri-implant osseous defects in order to provide some evidence that can aid clinicians in the approach to peri-implant disease treatment.

It is near to the neck region of the tooth and thick at the root apex. It is formed by the cells known as cementoblast. Cementum helps the tooth to be attached to the periodontal ligament and alveolar bone through the sharpey’s fibre. Cementum helps in the repair and regeneration of damaged teeth. It has a high anti-absorption capacity. Age estimation using cementum technique is reliable to the teeth which is not affected by periodontal disease. Combined method of biological age estimation had high correlation when compared to public symphysis morphology and similar error were found among both the methodsThe literature search on age estimation using cementum as carried out for papers published from google scholar and pubmed with the intention of retrieving all original reports that were relevant to it. This review helps to provide deeper understanding about age estimation using cementum which benefits the dentist and forensic department.

  • Veterinary Periodontal Disease
    Veterinary Periodontal Disease Introduction Periodontal disease is the most common infectious disease of adult dogs. It is a progressive, cyclical inflammatory disease of the supporting structures of the teeth and is the main cause of dental disease and early tooth loss in dogs and cats. It affects over 87% of dogs and 70% of cats over three years of age. By the end of this chapter you should be able to: ü Understand the aetiopathogenesis of periodontal disease ü Know the significance of untreated periodontal disease on both the mouth and body organs ü Treat and prevent common periodontal problems ü Understand the different pocket types that may present and select appropriate treatment for them. Periodontal Tissues Periodontal tissues include four defined structures: gingiva, cementum, alveolar bone, and the periodontal ligament. The following landmarks are crucial to the understanding of the support structures of the tooth and the aetiopathogenesis of periodontal disease. Gingiva The gingiva is the only one of the four periodontal tissues normally seen in the mouth. Attached Gingiva The attached gingiva is keratinised to withstand the stress of ripping and tearing food. It tightly adheres to the underlying connective tissue with rete pegs. Free Gingiva The free gingiva surrounds the crown of the tooth. Cementum The cementum covers the dentin of the root surface of the tooth. It is histologically similar in structure to bone. It is thicker apically than coronally and is capable of both necrosis and some regeneration by cementoblasts. Both the periodontal ligament and gingiva anchor fibres into the cementum. Alveolar Bone The roots are encased in alveolar processes.
