The 'CEJ' is the more or less horizontal demarcation line that distinguishes the crown ''(A)'' of the tooth from root ''(B)'' of the tooth.
The 'cementoenamel junction', frequently abbreviated as the 'CEJ', is an anatomical landmark identified on a
tooth. It is the location where the
enamel, which covers the crown of a tooth, and the
cementum, which covers the root of a tooth, meet. The border created by these two dental tissues has much significance as it is usually the location where the
gingiva attaches to a healthy tooth by fibers called the
gingival fibers.
Active recession of the gingiva reveals the cementoenamel junction in the mouth and is usually a sign of an unhealthy condition.
