Where is cellular cementum found?

Coronal 2/3
Middle 1/3
Apical 1/3
Entire Root Surface

The correct answer is: Apical 1/3

Cellular cementum is primarily found in the apical one-third of the root surface of a tooth. This type of cementum contains more cells and helps with repair and remodeling processes in the tooth's root area. In contrast, acellular cementum is found in the coronal two-thirds of the root and does not contain cells. This is why the correct answer is the apical one-third. The other options are incorrect as they do not accurately describe the location of cellular cementum in a tooth.
