Oxytalan
In the cellular anatomy of
teeth
,
oxytalan
fibres are a component of the
extracellular matrix
. They were first described by Fullmer & Lillie (1958) in
periodontal membranes
. On
light microscope
examination, these fibres may be distinguished from mature
elastic fibers
by their failure to stain with
aldehyde fuchsin
solutions, unless they have been oxidized by
potassium permanganate
,
performic acid
or
peracetic acid
.
