[The role of oxytalan fibers in the stomatognathic system. A bibliographic review].
The authors review the oxytalan fibers, that belong to the elastic system fibers of the connective tissue. They are observed in many structures of the stomatognathic system, particularly in the periodontal ligament and TMJ disc.
