Blood flow changes in the rabbit maxilla following an anterior osteotomy.
This investigation considered circulatory changes in the distal segment of an anterior maxillary osteotomy produced in nine rabbits. Blood flow in the distal pulp, alveolar bone, and mucosa was measured using hydrogen washout. The results showed a decrease in blood flow in all tissues with a mucosal rebound within 30 min.
