[Bone scintigraphy following cryodevitalization of the mandible].
A tumor of the mandible can be destroyed successfully by cryogenic devitalisation. The revitalisation process was observed in 6 miniature swines by means of nuclear medical bone exploration. The bone metabolism decreased clearly postoperatively, and indeed laterally more than lingually. An increased blood flow and bone metabolism was recognized as an expression of the repair process at the border to the healthy bone after 7 days, later also lingually whereas no reaction was found laterally. The extent of the devitalised bone was 0.5-1.0 cm bigger than the cryosurgical part.
