title: Extraction socket healing in the calcium deficient rat.
abstract: The healing of extraction sockets was studied in normal and calcium deficient rats. New bone formation occurred earlier and proceeded more rapidly in the deficient rats, and the newly formed trabeculae were sparse and delicate but with a similar osteoporotic appearance to the alveolar bone.
