[cementoblast]
Cementoblasts are derived from from cells of the fibrous and cellular connective tissue that fills the space between the tooth and its bony socket and mediates tooth attachment to bone (periodontal ligament; see also: periodontal ligament cells). Cells in the periodontal ligament comprise fibroblastic and mineralized tissue-forming progenitor cells. The mineralized tissue-forming progenitor cells are believed to give rise to the cementoblastic and osteoblastic lineages, but the true origin of cementoblasts is still controversial. It has been proposed that cementoblasts that produce cellular intrinsic fiber cementum and acellular intrinsic fiber cementum are unique phenotypes that are unrelated to osteoblasts (Bosshardt, 2005).
