Abstract
Fibres possessing the ultrastructural features of elastic tissue were located within the central area of the gingival connective tissue. They comprised an amorphous core surrounded by microfibrils 8–12 nm. in diameter. Beneath the junctional epithelium loose bundles of microfibrils of similar size, but lacking an amorphous component, corresponded to oxytalan fibres. Many of these inserted into the lamina densa of the basal lamina.
