− | '''Cementum''' is synthesised by '''[[Enamel Organ#Cementoblasts|cementoblasts]]'''. It is calcified tissue and lacks regular organisation. Collagen fibres extend from the cementum into the '''[[Enamel Organ#Periodontal Ligament|periodontal ligament]]''' to fasten the tooth in its socket. '''Cementum''' is relatively immune to pressure erosion, therefore the tooth can be be romedelled in its socket. | + | '''Cementum''' is synthesised by '''[[Enamel Organ#Cementoblasts|cementoblasts]]'''.
