1. dentogingival
2. short midface

1. I think it is cementum (coz in orthodontic movements the cementum is deposited )
I may be wrong but can you (skabbaraju) explain your choice.

2. Short Mid-face

Cementum is definitely for attachment purposes but "reattachment", I thought since dentogingival fibers are part of the epithelial ligament, they might play a role.
You could be right though.

Cementum is the main responsible for re-attachement..it's his reparative function!!

My bad, that's true, it is cementum. Just thinking too much!!Uh
