| |
| − | | |
| − | Cementoblasts are cells in the enamel organ which forms the tooth. They secrete [[Cementum - Anatomy & Physiology|cementum]].

| |
| − | | |
| − | *Epithelial cells near the distal end of the cup
| |
| − | | |
| − | *Become follicle cells
| |
| − | | |
| − | *Synthesise [[Cementum - Anatomy & Physiology|cementum]] which mostly contains collagen I
| |
| − | | |
| − | *[[Cementum - Anatomy & Physiology|Cementum]] surrounds the [[Dentine - Anatomy & Physiology|dentine]] of the [[Root - Anatomy & Physiology|root]]
| |
| − | | |
| − | *[[Cementum - Anatomy & Physiology|Cementum]] is acellular and not readily absorbed.
