THE TOPOGRAPHY AND ROLE OF THE GINGIVAL FIBERS

HENRY M. GOLDMAN D.M.D.1

1 Oral Pathology Laboratory, Beth Israel Hospital, Boston, Mass.

The topography and function of the gingival fibers has been presented. It was noted that the connective tissue fibers of the buccal gingiva are not as coarse or as numerous as those on the lingual or palatal surfaces. The function of the gingival fibers is to support the gingiva, keeping it closely adapted to the tooth surface and sustaining it against forces placed on it during mastication.
