Tooth
This section of ground tooth shows the junction of the enamel, dentin and cementum. Cementum is a thin layer of bone-like tissue that covers the dentin from this junction to the root of the tooth. The tooth is stabilized in the tooth socket by anchoring collagen fibers of the periodontal ligament, which extends from cementum to alveolar bone. 200x
