Abstract
Electron microscopic studies of human buccal and alveolar mucosa, human gingival mucosa, and mouse labial mucosa revealed an interlocking pattern of anchoring fibrils and collagen fibrils. Anchoring fibrils were more numerous and better developed in nonkeratinized mucosa than in the keratinized oral mucous membranes.Keywords
