Abstract
Bone scanning with technetium-99m-labeled polyphosphate and a scintillation camera were used to follow the mineral metabolism associated with the reformation and eruption of previously extracted posterior rabbit teeth. Uptake of technetium-polyphosphate was significantly higher throughout the phase of active tooth eruption.Keywords
