During the later steps within the stage of apposition of cementum,many of the cementoblasts become entrapped by the cementum they produce,becoming cementocytes.After the appositional growth of cementum in layers,the cementoblasts that do not become entrapped in cementum line up along the cemental surface along the length of the outer covering of the periodontal ligament.When the undifferentiated cells of the dental sac come into contact with the newly formed surface of root dentin,these cells are induced to become cementoblasts.Odontoblasts are cells that produce dentin.Odontoclasts resorb dentin,cementum,and enamel during tooth shedding and eruption.
