Which of the following tissues have no reparative capacity______________?

Correct answer: A. Enamel

  • A. Enamel
  • B. Dentin
  • C. Cementum
  • D. Periodontal ligament

Explanation

Mature enamel has no reparative capacity because ameloblasts are lost after enamel formation and enamel contains no living cells. Dentin, cementum, and periodontal ligament retain cells and can show limited repair or remodeling.
