Overview
Cementoblasts are cells in the enamel organ which forms the tooth. They secrete cementum.
Properties
Epithelial cells are present near the distal end of the cup. They become follicle cells. Cementoblasts synthesise cementum which mostly contains collagen I.
Cementum surrounds the dentine of the root. Cementum is acellular and not readily absorbed.
