- 白亜質はくあしつnounA less common technical term for cementum, the calcified tissue covering tooth roots. It is really an anatomical term, not how you would refer to cement as a material.
- セメント質セメントしつnounA less common technical term meaning cementum, the bone-like substance on tooth roots. Like 白亜質, it belongs to dental and anatomical usage rather than ordinary talk of cement.
