“…Oxytalan fibers eould not be deteeted in 10 keloids examined. Tedesehi & Sommers (1961) detected oxytalan fibers in 10 cases of sclerosing hemangiomas of the skin, but failed to detect oxytalan fibers in several other types of skin lesions, including intradermal and compound nervi, epidermal inclusion cysts and hyperkeratotic papillomas.…”

Abstract. Oxytalan connective tissue fibers are a separate and distinct fiber type. Although current histochemical methods cannot distinguish pre‐elastic from oxytalan fibers, the two fiber types are readily distinguished by electron microscopy. Oxytalan fibers are found in periodontal membranes of all teeth of man, monkeys, rats, guinea pigs and mice. Increased numbers and size of oxytalan fibers are observed in periodontal membranes of teeth subjected to increased stress, such as those used for bridge abutments. Edwards (1968) observed increased size and number of oxytalan fibers in periodontal membranes of dog incisors subjected to orthodontic forces. Some oxytalan fibers serve to support the blood and lymphatic vessels leading to the teeth. Oxytalan fibers appear to have a protein component and a stainable component digestible with β‐glucuronidase after peracetic acid digestion. Oxytalan fibers develop in repair tissues of the periodontal membrane. Although oxytalan fibers probably develop in relation to tumors developed from dental tissues, electron microscopy must be employed to distinguish oxytalan from developing elastic tissues inasmuch as histochemical methods are inadequate.

“…Along with the description of oxytalan fibers in normal tissues, their presence has also been noted in some pathologic tissues. Apparently typical oxytalan fibers, shown by light histology, were found in giant cell tumors of tendon sheaths, dermal fihromas (Tedeschi & Sommers 1962), and sclerosing hemangiomas of skin (Tedeschi & Sommers 1961). Oxytalan fibers have also been reported in dental granulomas, radicular cysts (Fullmer 1960) and periodontal membrane involved in scleroderma (Fullmer & Witte 1962).…”

The interfaces and the relationships between collagen and oxytalan fibers were observed d light and electron microscopy. Guinea pig periodontal ligament was prepared for light and electron microscopy with perfusion using Peter's buffered formalin for light microscopy and GTA‐S‐collidine and OSO4 for electron microscopic studies. The tissue for light microscopy was stained with a modified Gomori's aldehyde fuchsin technique, in which pre‐oxidization with potassium monopersulfate was carried out before staining so as to demonstrate the oxytalan fibers. EM tissues were routinely stained with lead citrate and uranyl acetate. Two different structural relationships were observed. First, the subcomponents of the collagen and oxytalan fiber types interweave with each other; and, second, some of these two‐fiber subcomponents appear attached to each other. These relationships and the known orientation of oxytalan fibers as seen in the periodontal ligament provide insight as to the function of oxytalan fibers. The oxytalan fibers may provide increased structural integrity and increased distribution of forces over a wider area of the periodontal ligament. Because of their close relationship to blood and lymph vessels in the periodontal ligament, they may also help to stabilize these elements by the same structural relationships to collagen fibers.

“…Their presence seems to be associated with mechanical stress and they are found in periodontal membranes, tendons, ligaments, the connective tissue sheaths of dermal appendages, the adventitita of blood vessels, epineurium and perineurium (Fullmer & Lillie 1958). They have also been observed in certain pathological conditions (Fullmer 1960a, Fisher & Fullmer 1962, Hamner & Fullmer 1966, Hasegawa 1960, Tedeschi & Sommers 1961 of which dental granulomas, cysts and ameloblastomas are of particular odontological interest.…”
