title: Morphogenesis of the osteo-architecture in the carnassial region of the feline mandible, as demonstrated by microfocal radiography.
abstract: For the first time, osteogenesis was observed using direct magnifying microradiography, a noninvasive technique that has a high power of resolution. Thus, it was possible to correlate different stages of bone maturation in the feline mandible with specific functional demands. Our observations suggest a relationship between osseous structure and the mode of feeding and content of the diet.
