Periodontal regeneration involves cementogenesis, osteogenesis and formation of the periodontal ligament fibres and apart from residual cementum, the surface characteristics of the planed root surface have also implications upon the regeneration process. The amounts of remaining calculus, loss of tooth substance and roughness resulting from, the use of hand instruments has a bearing on the attachment of fibroblasts and ultimately the type of attachment to the root surface. This has been beautifully illustrated and explained with the medium of landmark studies and recent literature related to the topic, pictorial representation, tabular forms, graphs to provide a clear comprehensive view about the regulatory role of cementum in periodontal regeneration.

ABOUT THE AUTHOR Divya .
Dr. Divya, Senior Scientist, working at Central Avian Research Institute. She did her MSc & Ph.D. in organic chemistry. She started her teaching career as a lecturer in the subject of Organic Chemistry. She also taught courses of Biochemistry in an agriculture university. As a research scientist she worked on changes in Lipid profile of diabetic condition, removal of nimbidine and other limiting factors from neem seed cake. She worked on development of value added products for commercial use from natural resins and gums. Further, she worked on natural colour dye from seedlac and their addition in meat products to improve the colour of cooked meat and reduce the content of Nitrite responsible for producing carcinogenic compounds. She has developed a natural “Alta” from lac dye without any synthetic compound. Uses of Guar gum and Gum Arabic were explored as extenders, stabilizer and functional properties enhancer in minced poultry and goat meat products. Presently, she is pursuing research on natural antioxidants from plants sources to enhance food and feed quality.
