The vascular labelling method and gingival fluid measurements were applied to studies of the permeability of the dento‐gingival blood vessels. The fluid measurements reflect one aspect of increased permeability; the increased passage of fluid across the vascular walls. The vascular labelling method reflects alterations in the permeability of the vascular endothelium to intravenously injected carbon particles. Increased permeability of the dento‐gingival blood vessels was experimentally produced. It was found that in situations where labelling of the blood vessels occurred, fluid could also be collected from the gingival crevice. With this combination of methods, observation of both the extent and sites of altered permeability could be made.
