What is pulp

Tooth pulp is the most vital part of the tooth, originating in the center of the tooth, underneath the enamel layer (the top layer) and the dentin layer (the second layer), in the pulp chamber. Tooth pulp is soft and consists of living blood vessels, connective tissue, and large nerves.

What is Cementum

The cementum is the surface layer of the tooth root, covering the dentine. The cementum is the part of the periodontium that attaches the teeth to the alveolar bone by anchoring the periodontal ligament.
