Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The periodontal ligament is specialized periosteum that is capable of forming and resorbing cementum and bone. It contains osteoblasts, osteoclasts, cementoblasts, cementoclasts, and cells for the formation and resorption of fibers (fibroblasts and fibroclasts). It does not contain osteocytes (osteoblasts that are entrapped in bone) or cementocytes (cementoblasts that are entrapped in cementum).
