Cementoblasts
Cementoblasts are cells that are responsible for the formation of cementum, a bonelike tissue that covers the root of teeth. They are involved in the development and maintenance of the periodontium, the tissue that surrounds and supports teeth. Cementoblasts differentiate from mesenchymal stem cells and play a crucial role in the cementum formation, which is essential for the attachment of teeth to surrounding bone.
Cements
The word "cements" refers to something that fixes or unites things together, making them strong and stable. It can also refer to a binding agent, such as cement, which is used to hold building materials together.

Cenotaph
A cenotaph is a monument or tomb erected in memory of a person or people whose remains are not buried or buried in an unknown location. Thus, the name "cenotaph" comes from the Greek words kenos (empty) and taphos (tomb).
