    Non-Collagenous Protein: Cementum is rich in

    glycoconjugates, which represent either glycolipids,

    glycoproteins or proteoglycans and harbours a variety

    of other proteins.

    The predominant noncollagenous proteins are :

    1) Bone sialoprotein 3) Osteonectin

    2) Osteoponitin 4) Fibronectin, Tenasin

    CHANGES IN EXPOSED HUMAN CEMENTUM

    The concept that alteration inchronically exposed cementum was first

    suggested by Magitot. He noted thatnecrosis and resorption were the main

    alteration in exposed cementum. Todate, exposed cementum has beenexamined for change in

    Changes in Physical properties :

    Except for hardness

    changes in the physical

    properties of exposedcementum have not been

    studied. Exposed non

    carious cementum is softerthan unexposed cementum.

    Changes in Chemical

    composi t ion

    Inorganic portion of exposed noncarious cementum is increased by pickingup ion from the oral environment. The

    fluoride concentration of exposedcementum (9180 ppm) is about twice thatof unexposed cementum ( 5570 ppm ).

    A slight but statistically significant

    depression in the citrate content ofexposed cementum has been reported.

    The ground substance of cementum hasnot been chemically analysed.

    Changes in permeab i li ty :

    Under some experimental

    conditions cementum is

    permeable to dyes. Exposedcementum exhibitsincreased permeability to

    radioactive iodine.

    Changes in structu re :

    Surface of exposed cementum

    is hypermineralized upto a

    depth of 10-35 um.

    The presence of pathologic

    granules is found in exposed

    cemental surfaces.

    ALTERATION RESULTING FROM

    PERIODONTAL PATHOLOGY

    Effect of gingival inflammation :Subsurface alteration :

    The long standing presence of an inflammatoryprocess in the gingival connective tissue results in anet loss of collagen & in breakdown of dentogingivalfibers. Although enzymatic breakdown of collagenfiber is obvious in the gingival soft tissue, theextension of this process into the hard tissue of theroot, with loss of collagen crossbanding &dissolution of mineral crystals has also beendescribed.

    Cervical root resorption :The development of large root

    resorption defect in the cervical regionis, most likely, triggered by

    inflammatory processes in the adjacentconnective tissue most frequentlycervical resorption is seen in cases ofhyperplastic gingivitis. Such resorption

    generally has an underminingcharacter

    Analysis of root surface changes inperiodontitis :The first possibility that exists is thatthe cementum of certain individuals,through some inherent or acquiredphysical or chemical defect renders

    that individual more susceptible toperiodontal disease

    The second and more likely situation isthat the complex inflammatory,

    enzymatic and molecular biologicinfluences which accompany periodontaldisease may produce physical orchemical changes which are detectable

    in cementum.

  • 7/22/2019 Cementum in Disease[Nalini]

    34/98

    Cemental alteration with periodontalinflammation can occur even before the

    junctional epithelium has migratedfurther apically onto the root surface.

    These changes in root surfaces wall ofperiodontal pockets are significant

    because they may perpetuateperiodontal infection, cause pain andcomplicate periodontal treatment.

    Surface changes of cementum

    SEM observationAreas of cementum which are exposed byperiodontal disease show varying changesdepending on their location.

    At the base of pockets, the most recentlyexposed cementum may show a partial filling inone of the space between projections.

    Cementum which has undergone a larger

    exposure shows a complete covering of thenormal projections with what appears to be flatsheet like plaque and calculus formations.

  • 7/22/2019 Cementum in Disease[Nalini]

    36/98

    The cementum near CEJ demonstrates

    extensive flat sheet like calculus formations.The root surface which is in association with

    periodontal disease is also covered withcuticular material whose thickness varies from 1

    to 4 um., and is of lamellar nature..

    The roughness of the root surface probably isalso due to the uneven deposition of this cuticle.

    Chemical changes:

    The nature of the difference between periodontally

    normal and diseased teeth basically can becharacterized as either an absorption onto or adepletion from the cementum of major mineralcomponents such as magnesium, calcium and ofcertain trace elements such as silicon, copper, iron

    etc. The cementum in association with the pocket wall

    picks up iron which is a breakdown product of hememolecules and demineralized cementum once incontact with the oral environment binds calcium fromthe saliva.

  • 7/22/2019 Cementum in Disease[Nalini]

    39/98

    The uptake of minerals at the root surface is relatedto environment in which cementum is located.Exposure to oral cavity, saliva favouring

    remineralization of the surface aspects ofcementum & organic constituents.

    The mineral content of exposed cementum isincreased. The following minerals are increased in

    diseased root surfaces.Calcium

    Cytotoxic Changes :

    Bacterial penetration into the cementum can be foundas deep as the cemento dentinal junction.

    Permeation of bacteria is facilitated by the occurrence

    of minifracture and cracks, which sums to developfrequently in exposed cementum.

    Bacterial invasion into cementum & root dentin is acommon sequence to chronic periodontal disease.

  • 7/22/2019 Cementum in Disease[Nalini]

    41/98

    More recently, bacterial Lypopolysaccharide have beendetected in the 40 to 70 um deep surface of periodontallydiseased roots.

    Bacterial endotoxins have also been detected in the

    cemental wall of periodontal pockets. Whether the toxinis actually absorbed or trapped in the tissue has notbeen established.

    These imperfections can harbour endotoxin on asubmicroscopic basis and serve as a substrate for

    inflammatory exudate.

  • 7/22/2019 Cementum in Disease[Nalini]

    42/98

    The component of this exudate can include substance

    such as histamine, bradykinin, high molecular weightimmunoglobulins IgG, IgA, IgM and complement

    The endotoxic which has been found in the cementumalso may act to produce direct labializations of the

    lysozomal enzyme found within the cells of the tissuewhich then spill out into the tissues to effect theirresorptive activities.

    The cementum may act to perpetuate the destructive

    effects of periodontal disease by acting as a reservoir forpotentially destructive material.

    STRUCTURAL CHANGES :

    Presence of Patho log ic Granu les:

    These granu les extend 3-12 um into the su rface ofcementum from over ly ing plaque.

    Hypotheses wh ich explain the format ion o f cementalgranu les inc lude 3 basic events .

    Areas of Demineralization :

    Areas of demineralization are commonly relatedto root caries, exposure to oral fluid andbacterial plaque resulting in proteolysis of theembedded remants of Sharpeys fiber.

    The cementum may be softened and mayundergo fragmentation and cavitation.

    Root surface caries progress around the teethand appear as well defined yellowish or light

    brown areas covered by plaque and have a softor leathery consistency on probing.

    may lead to pulpitis, sensitivity of sweets

    and thermal changes of severe pain.Pathologic exposure of the pulp occurs in

    severe cases.

    Root caries may be the cause oftoothache in patients with periodontal

    disease and no evidence of coronal decay.

    Areas of increased mineralization:

    The presence of a highly mineralized surface layer

    in the cementum following exposure to the externalenvironment has frequently been detected by microradiography, chemical analysis, electronmicroprobe analysis and nuclear resonance

    reaction analysis.This increased mineralization may be increased by

    calcium and other ion derived from saliva andcrevicular fluid.

    Hypermineralized zone are 10 to 20 um

    thick with areas as thick as 50 um. As loss or reduction in the cross banding

    of collagen near the cementum surface

    and a subsurface condensation of organic

    material of exogenous origin have also

    been reported.

    may occur

    complete, horizontal or oblique fractures

    followed by repair which includes

    deposition of calcified tissue & embedding

    Several factors influence the likelihood of

    such repairs :

    Exposure of site of fracture to oral cavity

    with subsequent infection will interfere with

    repair. The distance between fractured root ends

    & inherent reparative capacity of the

    individual also influence repair of completehorizontal or oblique root fracture.

    Root sensitivity Root hypersensitivity is a common problem in

    periodontal practice. It may occur spontaneously when root becomesexposed as a result of gingival recession or pocketformation, or it may appear after scaling & rootplanning & surgical procedure.

    Root sensitivity occurs more frequently in cervicalarea of the root, where the cementum is extremelythin, scaling & root planning procedure may entirelyremove this thin cementum, inducing the

    hypersensitivity.

    Transmission of stimuli from the surface of the

    62/98

    Transmission of stimuli from the surface of the

    dentin to the nerve endings located in the dental

    pulp or in the pulpal region of dentin may occur

    through the odontoblastic process or owing to ahydrodynamic mechanism this causes the

    sensitivity reaction. This can also evoke a pulpal

    response leading to pulpititis and further pulp

    damage.

    Root caries :At one time, it is referred to as Caries of cementum. It is

    soft progressive lesion found anywhere on the root surfacewhich has lost C.T attachment and exposed to oralenvironment.

    Exposure to oral fluid and bacterial plaque results inproteolysis of the embedded remnants of Sharpeys fiber.The cementum may be softened & undergo fragmentation &cavitation.Involvement of the cementum is followed by bacterialpenetration of the dentinal tubules, resulting in destruction ofthe dentin.

    Since cementum is formed in concentric layers the micro-organism spread laterally between various layers.After decalcification of the cementum, destruction of theremaining matrix occurs with the ultimate softening &destruction of the tissue. It then proceeds to the dentin &finally pulpal involvement.

    The tooth may not be painful but

    exploration of the root surface reveals the

    presence of defect penetration of theinvolved area with a probe elicits pain.

    Caries of cementum requires specialattention when the pocket is treated. The

    nectrotic cementum must be removed by

    scaling & root planning until firm toothsurface is reached, even if this entails

    extension into dentin.

    Abrasion :

    It is pathologic wearing away of tooth substancethrough abnormal mechanical process.

    Abrasion usually occurs on the exposed root

    surfaces of teeth. They cause remarkable wear of cementum &

    dentin if the tooth brush carrying abrasivedentifrices is used injudiciously particularly inhorizontal rather than virtual direction. Vshaped or wedge shaped ditch is seen on theroot side of the CEJ with some gingivalrecession.

    Cementum fragments displaced into theperiodontal ligament may undergo a varietyof changes.

    New cementum may be deposited at the periphery &pdl fibers may become embedded in it, so as to establisha functional relationship between the tooth on one

    aspects and alveolar bone on the other.The detached cementum fragments may be completelyresorbed or may undergo partial resorption followed byaddition of new cementum and embedding of collagenfiber.

    Focal apical extensions of thecoronal enamel beyond thenormally smooth cervical marginand on to the root of the tooth.If amelogenesis is not turned off before the start of

    root formation, enamel may continue to form over

    portions of the root normally covered by cementum

    from odontogenic epithelium destined to form

    Hertwigs root sheath. This may occur in localizedareas, particularly on the buccal aspects of lower

    Grade I: The enamel projection extends from the cementoenamel junction of thetooth toward the furcation entrance.Grade II: The enamel projection approaches the entrance to the furcation. It doesnot enter the furcation, therefore there is no horizontal component.Grade III: The enamel project actually extends horizontally into the furcation.

    BENIGN CEMENTOBLASTOMA (True Cementoma):

    The benign cementoblastoma is probably a true neoplasm of functional

    cementoblasts which form a large mass of cementum or cementum like

    tissue on the tooth root.

    CLINICAL FEATURESMost frequently, under the age of 25 years with no significant sex

    predilections. The mandibular first permanent molar is the most

    frequently affected tooth. Other teeth involved have included

    mandibular second and third molars. Mandibular bicuspids,

    Maxillary bicuspids and first, second and third molars. Theassociated tooth is vital unless coincidentally involved. The lesion

    is slow growing and may cause expansion of cortical plates of bone,

    but is usually otherwise asymptomatic.

    DISEASES OF SYSTEMIC DISORDERS AFFECTINGCEMENTUMCLEIDOCRANIAL DYSPLASIA:Characterized by abnormalities of the skull, teeth jaws and

    shoulder girdle and occasionally stunting of the longbones. Its most important oral findings is prolongedretention of deciduous teeth and subsequently delay ineruption of the succedaneous teeth. Sometimes, thisdelay in tooth eruption is permanent. The roots of theteeth are often some what short and thinner than usualand may be deformed.

    A surprising and unexplained feature was the absence ofcellular cementum on the erupted teeth in both dentition,with no increased thickening of primary acellularcementum.

    HYPERPITUITARISM

  • 7/22/2019 Cementum in Disease[Nalini]

    84/98

    Due to the hyperfunction of the anterior lobe of the pituitary gland.Hyperpituitarism in children involves generalized over growth of most

    hard and soft tissues and called gigantism. Adult hyperpituitarism is

    called Acromegaly. There is enlargement of jaws, macroglossia anterior

    openbite, prognanthism. The root of posterior teeth enlarge as result of

    hypercementosis. This may be the result of functional and structural

    demands on teeth, instead of a secondary hormonal effect. Supraeruption

    of the posterior teeth may occur in an attempt to compensate for the

    growth of the mandible.

    HYPOTHYROIDISM

  • 7/22/2019 Cementum in Disease[Nalini]

    85/98

    HYPOTHYROIDISM:

    Result from insufficient secretion of thyroxin hormone. In children, it

    may result in retarded mental & physical development. Base of the skullshows delayed ossification. Dental development is delayed and primary

    teeth exfoliate slowly..

    RADIOGRAPHIC FEATURE:

    In children, it includes delayed closing of the epiphyses & skull sutures

    effects on teeth include delayed eruption, short roots and thinning of

    Laminadura. Patients with adult hypothyroidism show periodontal disease,

    loss of teeth & resorption of the cementum.

    HYPOPARATHYROIDISM:

    It is an uncommon condition in which, there is insufficientsecretion of parathyroid hormone. Clinical manifestation

    includes carpopedal spasm. Some have sensory abnormalities

    consisting of parasthesia and neurological changes. The

    principle radiographic changes in calcification of the basal

    ganglia. The jaws reveal enamel hypoplasia, delayed eruption,

    external root resorption, root dilaceration.

    Cementum apposition is continuous throughout life.Acellular cemental deposition at apical 1/3 .It accumulates in large quantities along the interradicularsurfaces of the tooth.Continual reapposition of new layers of cementum represents theaging of the tooth.Deposition appears to occur in response to functional stress, butmust be pointed out that layers of cementum are found at theroots of unerupted teeth of aged individuals.Often excementosis are formed leading to ankylosis with alveolarbone.Aging of acellular cementum is not readily discernedmicroscopically as compared to the cellular cementum, wherethere is degeneration and death of cementocytes .The cellular proliferative activity of cementum is low.

    CEMENTUM RESORPTION

    90/98

    Cementum resorption appears microscopically as a bay like concavities in

    the root surface.

    Multinucleated giant cells and large mononuclear macrophages are

    generally found adjacent to cementum undergoing active resorption.

    Several sites of resorption may coalesce to form a large area of

    destruction. The resorptive process may extend into the underlying dentin

    and even into the pulp.

    It is usually painless, the method by which resorption occur is similar tothat of bone. Accordingly, injury to the periodontal tissues affects the

    cementoblasts. There are other pleuripotential cells of PDL which

    differentiate into cementoclasts which participate in the resorption of the

    more superficial cementum.

    Cementum resorption is not necessarilycontinuous and may alternate with periods ofrepair and deposition of new cementum. Thenewly formed cementum is demarcated fromthe root by a deeply staining irregular line,termed as Reversal line, which delineates theborder of previous resorption.

    In most cases of repair there is a tendency toreestablish the former outline of the rootstructure. This is called anatomic repair.However, if only a thin layer of cementum isdeposited on the surface of a deep resorption,the root outline is not reconstructed and a baylike recess remains. In such areas some times itis restored by formation of bony projection sothat proper functional relationship will result.This is called functional repair.

    MOVEMENT & OCCLUSAL FORCES :

    The distribution of cementum on impacted teeth tendsto indicate that, occlusal forces are not necessarily tostimulate cementum deposition. In posterior teethin the human cementum is markedly thicken on thedistal than on the mesial side due to mesial drift.

    . The deposition of considerably more newcementum has been noted on the tension sidecompared with the pressure side of the root surfaceof teeth undergoing orthodontic tooth movement.

    This finding correlates with oppositional layers ofbone lining the distal wall of alveolar socket &indicates that cementum like bone tissue has thepotential to be dynamically responsive and its

    growth may be stimulated by tensional forces.

    CALCULUS ATTACHMENT

    The first significant study on modes of calculus attachment was reported by

    Zander in 1953 in which he described four types of attachment: A secondary cuticle interface between calculus and tooth structure.

    Attachment of calculus matrix to irregularities of the cementum surface

    corresponding to previous insertion locations of Sharpeys fibers.

    Penetration of microbial organisms of calculus into cementum.

    Attachment into areas of cementum resorption via mechanical locking into

    undercuts.

    The periodontal tissues form a functional unit designed tomaintain tooth support and protection. In particular,cementum by virtue of its structural and dynamicqualities, provides tooth attachment and maintenance ofocclusal relationship. These multiple functions arefulfilled by the biological activity and reactivity ofcementoblast, which deposit two collagen containingvarieties of cementum with completely differentproperties.Unless disturbed, the cementum covering of the rootincreases in thickness throughout life. Albeit at a fasterrate apically than cervically.Root surface over time include changes in tooth position,resorption and repair, surface exposure to theenvironment, bacterial invasion and contamination, and

    root caries.

    The dynamic features of cementum are particularly

  • 7/22/2019 Cementum in Disease[Nalini]

    96/98

    highlighted by its repair potential.Irreversible damage may occur when the cementum surfacebecomes exposed to environment of a periodontal pocket, and theoral cavity.The interest in cementum has never been given up by researchers,and the ultimate goal of true periodontal regeneration aftertreatment for periodontitis has revived vigorously the interest in thisunique mineralised tissue. Knowledge about the differentiationmechanism of cementoprogenitor cells and the cell dynamics duringnormal development, repair and regeneration is not sufficient.

    Basic Knowledge of cementum development during normalcy istherefore of utmost importance. Over recent years an increasingquantity of data has accumulated that allows the humancementogenesis to be described exclusively.
