Elastic tissue in early intraoral wounds.
Histochemical analysis of elastic tissue in early intraoral healing of wounds demonstrated that these fibers were concentrated in the perivascular areas of granulation tissue and within newly formed connective tissues at the base of the wound. These results were consistent with previous reports indicating that the cellular origin of this tissue is smooth muscle cells or fibroblasts.
