Cementum growth in impacted teeth.
The authors present a study on the cementum of impacted teeth. It was not possible to correlate the thickness of the cementum and the age of the patients. Significant differences were found, on the other hand, between the thickness and distribution of the cementum in different teeth. Third molars showed in almost all cases an increase in the thickness of cementum.
