  • Title: Lymphatic vessels in the healthy human dental pulp.
    Author: Marchetti C, Poggi P, Calligaro A, Casasco A.
    Journal: Acta Anat (Basel); 1991; 140(4):329-34. PubMed ID: 1927244.
    Abstract:
    The lymphatic vessels of the dental pulp have been studied in non-carious teeth of young people. A network of lymphatic vessels drains the pulpal tissue. The lymphatic capillaries are characterized by a thin wall with an irregular profile. Cellular projections rise from the endothelial cells. Micropinocytotic vesicles and intercellular adjoining structures are the main mechanisms for the lymph formation. Multivesicular structures, Weibel-Palade bodies and paracrystalline inclusions have been observed.
