Erythrocyte velocity in vascular networks of young noninflamed dog gingiva.
Measurements of erythrocyte velocity in vascular networks of noninflamed gingiva of deciduous canines of four young dogs were obtained using vital microscopy and high-speed cinephotomicrography. Mean erythrocyte velocity in small gingival vessels was 1.59 +/- 0.29 mm/sec. Differences in erythrocyte velocity of vessels comprising a gingival microcirculation and of vessels within different gingival samples were not significant.
