Explanation:
The cells, odontoblasts are responsible for deposition of dentine. It covers the pulp cavity and presents all throughout the life. Cementum which is alike bone both histologically and chemically, covers dentine at the root of the teeth. Cementum may be cellular, containing the cells, cementocytes which are similar to osteocytes or they may be free from cells, named as acellular cementum.
The pulp cavity is composed of connective tissue and is richly supplied with blood vessels. It has also both myelinated and non-myelinated nerve fibres. The gingiva (gum) is the oral mucous membrane which is firmly connected with the periosteum of the alveolar bone at its crest and also with the surface of the tooth by the epithelial attachment of Gottlieb.
