Cementum and bone: a histomorphometric study.
In the present study, a series of cementum and bone specimens were examined both qualitatively and quantitatively with a view to establishing histological criteria which may help in differentiating cementum from bone. This is for the first time that differences in cellularity and width of fibre bundles between the lamellar bone and the cementum has been reported.
