Lymphatic vessels were traced in healthy and early inflamed gingivae of
various nonhuman primates. Lymphatic capillaries and primary collecting vessels
originated in the connective tissue papillae and stroma near or adjacent to the
attachment epithelium. They emptied into thin-walled irregular-shaped collecting
vessels that drained into the periodontal ligament. In early inflammation, all the
lymphatic vessels of luminal caliber were distended within and/or surrounding the
inflammatory infiltrate.
