Oxytalan Fibers in the Periodontium of Ascorbic Acid-Deficient Guinea Pigs

Abstract

SYNOPSIS IN INTERLINGUA

FIBRAS DE OXYTALANO IN LE PERIODONTIO DE PORCOS DE INDIA A CARENTIA DE ACIDO ASCORBIC.—Le function del fibras de oxytalano non es cognoscite. Per medio de technicas de tincturation histochimic, il ha essite constatate que fibras de oxytalano differe de fibras de collageno in lor structura chimic e in lor orientation. Le objectivo del presente investigation esseva clarificar le natura de iste fibras a base de un evaluation del responsa de fibras de oxytalano a un manco de acido ascorbic. Esseva constatate que le fibras de collageno in le membrana periodontal declinava in numeros con le crescente severitate del carentia de acido ascorbic durante que le fibras de oxytalano remaneva inalterate in lor numeros e in lor distribution.
