Zusammenfassung:Electron microscopic findings in a focus of early calcification in a case of sclerotic cemental masses of the jaws are described. Fine structural features of many of the lesional cells are similar to those of cells involved in actively healing tissues. This suggests that the lesion is basically reactive in biologic nature. The most characteristic portion of the hard-tissue component ultrastructurally resembles primary cementum.
