Abstract:
It is the purpose of this study to examine the prevalence and distribution of cementicles on different root surfaces of 524 extracted human teeth. The results are as follows:185 teeth had cementicles and the morbidity accouted for 35% of the sum total of investigation. Cementicles were seen on approximately over 50% of the canines and molars and fewer than 50% of the other teeth.On canines,cementicles were found most frequently in the mid- dle and apical thirds of the roots.On molars,cemwnticles were found frequently in furcations. A relationship with the presence of enamel projections at the cementenamel junction in molar furcations was noted.The findings suggested that cementicles frequent occurrance in certain locations be of grear clinical importance to periodontal diseases.
