Q

Types of periodontal ligament fibers and location (6)

A
  • Apical fibers: at apex of root
  • Oblique fibers: from cementum in an oblique direction to insert into bone
  • Horizontal fibers: attach to the cementum apical to the alveolar crest fibers and run perpendicularly from the root of the tooth to the alveolar bone.
  • Dentoalveolar crest fibers: run from the cervical part of the root to the alveolar bone crest
  • Transseptal fibers: extend interproximally over the alveolar bone crest and are embedded in the cementum of adjacent teeth; they form an interdental ligament
  • Interradical fibers: between the roots of multirooted teeth, extend from radicular cementum to interradicular alveolar bone.
