Someshwar · Answer

When many of the cementoblasts become entrapped by the cementum they produce, they become cementocytes.

Cementocytes are the cells within the cementum that become embedded in the mineralized tissue. These cells are similar to osteocytes in bone, as they reside in small lacunae (spaces) within the cementum and have extensions that connect them to other cementocytes and to the periodontal ligament. The entrapment of cementoblasts during cementum formation helps maintain the integrity and continuous production of cementum, especially in response to changes in tooth position or wear.
