Histology of human cementum: Its structure, function, and development
نویسندگان
چکیده
Cementum was first demonstrated by microscopy, about 180 years ago. Since then the biology of cementum has been investigated by the most advanced techniques and equipment at that time in various fields of dental sciences. A great deal of data on cementum histology have been accumulated. These data have been obtained from not only human, but also non-human animals, in particular, rodents such as the mouse and rat. Although many dental histologists have reviewed histology of human cementum, some descriptions are questionable, probably due to incorrect comparison of human and rodent cementum. This review was designed to introduce current histology of human cementum, i.e. its structure, function, and development and to re-examine the most questionable and controversial conclusions made in previous reports.

Structure, chemical composition and mechanical properties of human and rat cementum and its interface with root dentin.
This work seeks to establish comparisons of the physical properties of rat and human cementum, root dentin and their interface, including the cementum-dentin junction (CDJ), as a basis for future studies of the entire periodontal complex using rats as animal models. In this study the structure, site-specific chemical composition and mechanical properties of cementum and its interface with root ...

Neuroimaging research indicates that human intellectual ability is associated to brain structure including the thickness of the cerebral cortex. Most studies show that general intelligence is positively associated with cortical thickness in areas of association cortex allocated throughout both brain hemispheres. Changes in cortical thickness over time have been related to intelligence, but whet...
متن کاملThe Progressive Ankylosis Protein Regulates Cementum Apposition and Extracellular Matrix Composition
Background/Aims: Tooth root cementum is sensitive to modulation of inorganic pyrophosphate (PP i ), an inhibitor of hydroxyapatite precipitation. Factors increasing PP i include progressive ankylosis protein (ANK) and ectonucleotide pyrophosphatase/phosphodiesterase 1 (NPP1) while tissue nonspecific alkaline phosphatase hydrolyzes PP i . Studies here aimed to define the role of ANK in root and ...
متن کاملDevelopment and Resources Distribution Structure in Political Systems
Distribution and allocation of resources is affected by factors such as values, norms, social stratifications, ideology, information, coercion, political challenges, and even external factors. This finding means that there is always a fundamental tendency to redirect resources toward political goals instead of public interests and development. Because the resource structure is strongly influenc...
