MeSH definition : Dense fibrous layer formed from mesodermal tissue that surrounds the epithelial enamel
organ. The cells eventually migrate to the external surface of the newly formed root
dentin and give rise to the cementoblasts that deposit cementum on the developing
root, fibroblasts of the developing periodontal ligament, and osteoblasts of the developing
alveolar bone.;
