Root formation
Begins after the outline of the crown has been established but before the full crown is calcified.
these layers of and **** which make up the **** begin to undergo rapid mitotic division and grow deep into the underlying connective tissue – the beginning of root formation.

epithelial root sheath (hertwigs epithilia root sheath)
Dentinocemental Junction
Some epithelial root sheath cells do not pull away and may become ameloblasts, forming small globs of enamel on the surface of the dentin.
enamel pearls are found in
are found in bifurcations and trifurcations of roots.
cementum
A hard, yellowish substance covering the root of the tooth.
45% to 50% inorganic hydroxyapatite crystals.
50% to 55% is organic components and water.
It is first seen at the cervical line of the tooth, also called the cementoenamel junction ( CEJ )
acellular cementum
all of the cementoblasts remain on the surface rather than becoming trapped within the cementum.
cellular cememntum
is more vital than acellular cementum and therefore more responsive to remodeling itself; located in apical 1/3 of the root.
The cellular cementum at the apex of the root tends to increase in thickness with the passage of time and as a result of stress causing thickening known as
hypercementosis
As the ****
forms from the middle of the layer of cells in the old ** the ends of the periodontal fibers become surrounded by *****, whose secretion hardens around the ends of the fibers, attaching them to the **

cementum
Parts of the periodontal ligament embedded in cementum are known as
sharpeys fiber
are the parts of the periodontal ligament surrounded by cementum on the tooth side and alveolar bone on the opposite side in the wall of the tooth socket.
sharpeys fiber
alveolar bone is
Is the bone of the upper or lower jaw that makes up the sockets for the teeth.
three layers of alveolar bone
The layer of compact bone on the buccal or lingual surface is referred to as the cortical plate of bone. It has normal periosteum. The bone that forms the socket for the tooth is also a compact bone but does not have a normal periosteum.
This layer is called the cribriform plate or alveolar bone proper. Radiographically it is referred to as the lamina dura. The tooth socket is constantly being remodeled, and additional bone, called bundle bone, laid down on the cribriform plate. A thickened lamina dura, which can be seen in a radiograph, is caused by bundle bone being laid down on the cribriform plate and is an indication of occlusal trauma to that tooth or teeth.
Between the cortical plate and the cribriform plate is a layer of spongy or cancellous bone. Spongy bone is a bone marrow. A radiograph will only show the cribriform plate, the spongy bone and the crest of bone that joins two sockets, called the interproximal alveolar crest of bone.
the three groups of the periodontal ligament are
gingival
transseptal
alveolodental fibers
run from the cementum into the free and attached gingival area; support the gingiva.
gingival fibers
run around the tooth in free gingiva and hold gingiva against the tooth.
circular gingival fibers
run from the cementum of the
interproximal portion of one tooth, across the alveolar crest of bone, to the cementum of the interproximal portion of the adjacent tooth; hold the teeth in interproximal contact.
transseptal fibers
run from cementum to alveolar bone
alveodental fibers
runs from cementum, slightly apical to the alveolar crest of bone; helps resist horizontal movements of teeth.
alveolar crest group
runs from the cementum horizontally to the alveolar crest; helps resist horizontal movement.
horizontal group
runs from the cementum coronally into the alveolar bone; main fiber group for resisting occlusal stresses.
oblique group
runs from the apex of the tooth into the adjacent alveolar bone; resists forces trying to pull the tooth from its socket.
apical group
group- found only on multirooted teeth; runs from the alveolar crest of the bone between the roots of the tooth to adjacent cementum; resists the forces trying to remove the tooth.
interradicular group
Begins as the crown starts to develop.
Eruptive movement associated with the pre-eruptive stage is of two varieties – spatial and excentric.
Spatial movement -the crown develops while the bottom of the socket fills in with bone, pushing the crown toward the surface.
Excentric or off-center growth- the crown of a tooth does
pre eruptive stage
