abnormal cementocyte lacunocanalicular system morphology +   
any structural anomaly of the osteocyte-like network of lacunae and canaliculi housing the cementocytes and their cytoplasmic processes within the cellular cementum; although cementocytes resemble osteocytes, they show profound differences in terms of dendrite number, lacunar shape, and canalicular network density, suggesting less communication between, to, and from cementocytes compared with osteocytes
