Sixty impacted, nonfunctioning permanent canines and premolars from patients 9 to 70 years old were used in a study of the characteristics and thickness of the cementum. A correlation coefficient test showed direct interdependence between the increase in thickness of the cementum and the age of the impacted tooth.
