Cementogenesis

These enamel-like aberrations in cementogenesis are intriguing and could offer new insights and strategies to regenerate acellular cementum.

Evidence supporting a role for EMPs^([enamel matrix proteins]) in cementogenesis has been accumulating from investigations employing immunohistochemistry, in situ hybridization, and in vitro assays, all supporting EMP expression by HERS^([Hertwig's epithelial root sheath]) cells in several species[…].

Cementogenesis persists throughout the life of the tooth, allowing for continuous reattachment of the periodontal ligaments.
