Before entering Upon a detailed discussion of the inllaniatundisturbances of the dental pulp it will not be amiss to reiterate thenormal anatomy of this delicate organ as depicted by Professor I The* dental pulp is a delicate connective tissue consisting oframified cells imbedded in a slightly fibrous stroma and granulartransparent basic substance and is plentifully supplied with blood-vessels and nerves. It is the soft vascular and sentient organ whichoccupies the central portion of teeth, being naturally bounded onall sides by dentin, w Inch thus constitutes its cavity. There are notraces of an\ organized lymphatic system in the dental i-> to say, evidence of the existence of endothelially-linedl\ inphatie capillaries or vessels are wanting. Pericellular and inter-cellular lymph spaces or tissue -pace- are everywhere apparent, as Hopewell-Smith: The Normal and Pathological Histologj of the Mouth,Philadelphia, 1918. INFLAMMATION 41 rz.

It permeates thepulp tissue and exudes into the dentinal tubules around the odonto-blast processes. It, however, does not pass into lymphatic vessels,and does not leave the pulp by such channels.
