Semiconductor probe measurements in beagle dogs with periodontal disease.
A miniaturized semiconductor probe was used to measure alveolar bone uptake of a bone-seeking radiopharmaceutical in dogs with destructive periodontal disease. Radiopharmaceutical uptake in localized, advanced disease was greater than in incipient disease and was generalized, with increased uptake occurring in radiographically normal areas and in areas with bone loss.
