(2 of 20) Epithelial Rests Epithelial rests (A) appear as a broken string of small dense basophilic structures. Identify cementoblasts (B) whose dark nuclei stand out along the thin line of light pink staining material between the cementum (C) and the cementoblasts. This lighter layer is cementoid (D) indicating active formation of cementum. How would you classify this cementum? (look at K to check your answer) Why? (look at L). The perio-dontal region (E) lies between the tooth and the alveolar bone.	Legend A - epithelial rests B - cementoblasts C - cementum D - cementoid E - periodontal region F - dentin G - osteocytes H - osteoblasts J - alveolar bone K - primary cementum L - it is acellular
