Besides describing the types of cementum and cementogenesis, attention is given to recent advances in scientific understanding of the molecular and cellular aspects of the formation and regeneration of cementum. The understanding of the mechanisms involved in the dynamic of this tissue should allow for the development of new treatment strategies concerning the approach of the root surface affected by periodontal disease and periodontal regeneration techniques.}, number={12}, journal={Brazilian Journal of Oral Sciences}, author={Gonçalves, Patricia Furtado and Sallum, Enilson Antonio and Sallum, Antonio Wilson and Casati, Márcio Zaffalon and Toledo, Sérgio and Nociti Junior, Francisco Humberto}, year={2015}, month={Nov.}, pages={651–658} }
