  • Limfna drenaža obzobnih tkiv = Lymphatic drainage of periodontal tissues
    Cvetko, Erika ; Skalerič, Uroš, 1945-2023
    The lymphatic system is a part of the circulatory system that removes excessive fluid from tissues and returns it to the blood circulation. cleansesthe body of foreign matter and provides immune ... cells for defence. In periodontal tissues, lymphatic vessels are most numerous in the gingiva, whichserves as a barrier, preventing microorganisms from entering the periodontium and alveolar bone. They are less numerous in the periodontium andalveolar bone. and they are lacking in cementum. Lymph leaves the gingiva through vessels running apically in the periodontal ligament, on the surface of the alveolar process and through alveolar bone. In the periodontal membrane, lymphatic vessels are located mainly in the alveolar region. They communicate through Volkmann's canals wiih the lymphatic vessels of the alveolar process and alveolar bone. In the periapical region. they join the lymphatic vessels of the dental pulp. On its way to the venous system, lymph passes through several groups of lymph nodes, where it is filtered and receives lymphocytes. From periodontal tissues, lymph is carried into the submandibular and submental lymph nodes, and from there into the deep cervicallymph nodes. Lymphatic drainage is an important route for eliminating larger molecules from the interstitial spaces of periodontal tissues and a major pathway for triggering the immune response, which has a central role in the development and progress of periodontal disease.
