Cement Acellular

Cement - This is a mineral material that covers the root of the tooth and ensures its fixation in the jaw. It consists of two main components: dentin and cementum. Dentine contains large amounts of minerals such as calcium, phosphorus and magnesium, while cementum contains mainly fluoride and calcium.

However, there are cases when the cement does not contain cells and is located mainly in the upper part of the tooth root. This is called acellular cementum. Acellular cementum can be caused by a variety of factors, such as genetics, dental trauma, age-related changes, or long-term exposure to certain chemicals.

Acellular cement does not have cells that could perform the functions of protecting and restoring the tooth. Instead, this cement is composed of inorganic materials such as calcium hydroxyapatite, calcium fluoride and other minerals. Acellular cementum is less durable than regular cementum, which can cause the tooth to decay more quickly.

One way to treat acellular cementum is to use special technologies such as laser therapy, microsurgery or implantation. These methods help strengthen the tooth and restore its normal function. However, the choice of treatment method depends on the individual characteristics of the patient and the degree of tooth damage.
