The base or root of the tooth is sealed and cemented to the jawbone with a substance appropriately called cementum.
Last but not least, cementum is what covers the root of the tooth, it attaches the teeth to the bones in our jaw, which blood vessels and nerves enter the tooth to become part of the pulp.
Since our treatment modalities are patient centered and evidence based, we are no longer trying to remove cementum to produce glassy, smooth roots.
