Abstract
The authors' observation of the presence of elastic and oxytalan fibers running parallel to the collagen bundles in the human temporomandibular disc confirms our prior observation using similar staining methods. 1 Helmy E Larke V Bays R et al. Identification of elastic and oxytalan fibers in human cadaver TMJ. J Dent Res. 1984; 63: 228 Google Scholar Unlike the course and much more abundant elastic fibers in the bilaminar zone and collateral ligaments, the elastic fibers in normal human discs are much finer and require higher magnification to visualize under the light microscope 1 Helmy E Larke V Bays R et al.
