dental development and anomalies

Cavities were made through the buccal and lingual cortical plates or through only the buccal plate of mandibles in six adult mongrel dogs. The cavities were made with a trephine and were of the following diameters—5, 6 and 8 mm. The dogs were sacrificed after 8, 12 and 16 weeks. The combined radiographical-histological study revealed that the following three factors influence bony regeneration in dog mandibles: The size of the experimental cavity. The removal or not of both cortical plates. The elevation or not of the periosterum.
