Abstract
Cementum surface alterations induced by 1-hydroxyethylidene-1,1-bispho sphonate (HEBP) in the maxillary first molars in rats were studied by means of scanning electron microscopy. Single or triple injections of HEBP inhibit the formation of acellular extrinsic fiber cementum and d elay the formation of cellular mixed-fiber cementum. The results indic ate the importance of acellular extrinsic fiber cementum as a protecti on barrier against root resorption and the different mechanisms underl ying the formation of the two cementum varieties.
