• Fluid transport from the dental pulp revisited. 

      Berggreen, Ellen; Wiig, Helge; Virtej, Anca (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2020-10)
      In the dental pulp surrounded by rigid dentinal walls, an increase in fluid volume will be followed by a rapid increase in interstitial fluid pressure. To maintain pressure homeostasis, a fluid drainage system is required. ...
    • Interstitial fluid drainage from rat apical area takes place via vessels in the mandibular canal. 

      Virtej, Anca; Tenstad, Olav; Wiig, Helge; Berggreen, Ellen (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2020)
      We sought to investigate the transport route for protein‐rich fluid from the apical area towards the draining lymph nodes. The first mandibular molar root canals in 24 female Wistar rats were instrumented and filled with ...
