Lymphatic Vessels in the Healthy Human Dental Pulp

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.
