Abstract

Alterations in vascularisation, vasodilatation and tissue osmotic pressure (OP) are inevitable aspects of the inflammatory process that have an adverse effect on the fluid dynamics of the tissue involved. The aim of this study was to investigate tissue OP and its relationship with the vasculature in inflammed gingival. tissues, in order to reveal the possible effects of vascular changes on OP in the fluid dynamics of periodontal soft tissues during periodontal disease.
