Information AboutCementoenamel Junction |

The cementoenamel junction, frequently abbreviated as the '''CEJ''', is an anatomical landmark identified on a Tooth . It is the location where the Enamel , which covers the crown of a tooth, and the Cementum , which covers the root of a tooth, meet. The border created by these two dental tissues has much significance as it is usually the location where the Gingiva attaches to a healthy tooth by fibers called the Gingival Fibers . Active recession of the gingiva reveals the cementoenamel junction in the mouth and is usually a sign of an unhealthy condition. EXTERNAL LINKS |
