Morphological changes in lymphatic vessels in pulpal inflammation
S. Bernick
Noncarious, carious, and restored human teeth obtained from individuals 20
to 65 years of age were used to study the differences in lymphatic drainage
between healthy and inflamed pulps. In carious teeth, the lymphatic vessels
located within and/or surrounding the inflammatory lesion were distended, a
situation not demonstrable in pulps of noncarious and restored teeth.
