title: Growth effects of differing oronasal flaps on rib grafts in the dog palate.
abstract: An experimental model was designed to test the hypothesis that the periosteum of the nasal cavity may have an inherent tendency for bone resorption whereas oro-palatal periosteum may have an inherent osteogenic character. This hypothesis was found to be valid and could have important surgical implications in man.
