The characteristics of the lymphatic vessel endothelial wall have been investigated in human normal and inflamed dental pulps. In normal pulps the endothelial wall is characterized by the presence of micropinocytotic vesicles and intraparietal channels. In the inflamed pulpal tissue, where an increase in interstitial fluid pressure occurs, the distended endothelial wall presents open junctions between endothelial cells and the openings of the intraparietal channels. Moreover the micropinocytotic vesicles disappear. The cytoplasm of the endothelial cells is characterized by the presence of numerous Weibel-Palade bodies, which increase in number in the dilated vessels. In the fibrillar apparatus surrounding the lymphatic vessel wall collagen fibrils are the prevalent component, while elastic fibers are not present. The different morphological properties of the lymphatic vessels are compared and discussed with regard to the variation of the functional conditions of the tissue.
