Principal f
The major fiber groups of the functioning periodontium.
-
Periodontal f
Typically, a collection of collagenous or elastic connective tissue.
-
Oblique f
The most numerous collagenous fiber group of the periodontal ligament; run from the cementum outwardly and coronally to insert into the bone.
-
Nerve f
The slim axonal process of a nerve cell.
-
Muscle f
Skeletal or heart muscle cells.
-
Interradicular fiber
Found between the roots of multirooted teeth, these fibers run from the cementum into the crestal bone of the interradicular septum. The collagen fibers of the periodontal ligament in the interradicular area, attaching the tooth to alveolar bone.
-
Horizontal f
Located just apical to the alveolar crest group, these fibers run perpendicular to the long axis of the root from cementum to bone.
-
Gingival f
Collagen fibrils organized into bundles, or fibers, provide the major structural component of the connective tissue matrix of gingiva. Type I and type III collagens are most abundant in the gingiva.
-
Dentoperiosteal f
Fibers running from the cementum over the periosteum of the outer cortical plates of the alveolar process where they insert into the alveolar process or muscle in the vestibule of the floor of the mouth.
-
Dentogingival f
Numerous collagenous fibers that extend from cervical cementum to the lamina propria of the free and attached gingiva.
