Existence of Kroff's fiber is debated. See link at [http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/2063809]
They conclude that classical von Korff fibers are present and that these fibers are present in fully erupted teeth with closed apices, i.e., at a time when secondary circumpulpal dentinogenesis is in progress.

Cellular and Acellular cementum are based on presence of cementocytes and presence of agrophillic Kroff's fiber does not make a difference.

Refer Tenkate 4 or 5th edition for the issue surrounding Kroff's fiber

in apical third more of cellular cementum can be seen when we examine ground substance.
what are your thoughts for the same?
also isnt it korffs fibers, not kroffs?
