cementogenesis
nounEtymology From cementum + -o- + -genesis.
- These enamel-like aberrations in cementogenesis are intriguing and could offer new insights and strategies to regenerate acellular cementum.2002, John Ide Ingle, Leif K. Bakland, Endodontics, volume 1, page 28:
- Evidence supporting a role for EMPs^([enamel matrix proteins]) in cementogenesis has been accumulating from investigations employing immunohistochemistry, in situ hybridization, and in vitro assays, all supporting EMP expression by HERS^([Hertwig's epithelial root sheath]) cells in several species[…].2007, Brian L. Foster, Tracy E. Popowics, Hanson K. Fong, Martha J.Somerman, “Advances in Defining Regulators of Cementum Development and Periodontal Regeneration”, in Gerald P.
