Periodontal Ligament
The Periodontal Ligament (PDL) is the group of specialized connective tissue fiber, with neural and vascular components, that joins the cementum covering the root to the alveolar bone. Periodontal ligament consists of principal fibres, loose connective tissue, blast and clast cells, oxytalan fibres and Cell Rest of Malassez. The PDL substance has been estimated to be 70% water, which is thought to have a significant effect on the tooth ability to withstand stress loads. The completeness and vitality of the PDL are essential for the functioning of the tooth. The main function of Periodontal Ligament is supportive, sensory, nutritive, and remodelling.
