Cementogenesis is the formation of cementum, one of the three mineralized substances of a tooth. For cementogenesis to begin, Hertwig's epithelial root sheath must fragment. Once the root sheath fragments, the dentin that later forms the tooth's root, comes in contact with the dental sac. This then stimulates the activation of cementoblasts to begin cementogenesis.
