Abstract
Microradiographic and electron microscopic studies showed that cementum exposed to the oral environment can calcify beyond the normal level. Evidence of exchange of mineral and organic components across the tooth-saliva interface became morphologically detectable within a few weeks after thorough planing of cementum and root dentin.Keywords
