    11.30   Tooth and cementum Version française
Oblique section of the root of a human tooth.

This field shows the slightly basophilic cellular cementum (C) covering the dentin (D) at the tip of the tooth close to the apical foramen of the dental canal.

This mineralized cellular cementum is similar to bone tissue and contains cementocytes (arrows) in lacunae similar to those occupied by osteocytes.

The cellular cementum serves as a site of insertion of collagen fibres of the periodontal ligament (L).
