A study of the marginal periodontal structures of jaws obtained at autopsy has shown that apical proliferation of the epithelial attachment is dependent upon the maintenance of the insertion of the principal fibers of the periodontal membrane which lie in apposition to the epithelium. Epithelial proliferation can take place only through the destruction of these connective tissue fibers.
