Cementum is a specialized calcified tissue that covers the roots of teeth, which are part of the dental structures rather than the skeleton itself. It is not found in the traditional skeleton but is integral to the periodontal ligament and supports the teeth within the jawbone. The jawbone, which is part of the axial skeleton, provides the framework for the teeth, but the cementum specifically pertains to dental anatomy.
