  • Summary

    The teeth are an ideal medium for recording information on the evolution, diet, age, lifestyle, culture, social behavior, and activities of populations. The general health of an individual or a group can also be assessed by studying bucco-dental pathologies that concern the enamel, the dentin, the alveolar bone, and the cementum. However, structural changes in this last tissue are barely discernible and are much less studied than changes in other tissues. The main objective of this chapter is to review the pattern of human cementum deposition with a special emphasis on hypercementosis. The first part is devoted to present the physiological factors that modulate cementum continuous apposition. The second part is dedicated to the pathological factors that are likely to disturb growth. The last part explores a particular growth pattern of cementum, hypercementosis, and its significance in past populations.
