Effect of irradiation-timing on the initial socket healing in rats
International Journal of Oral Surgery
|December 1, 1979
Abstract:
The effect of a single dose of 1500 R on early postextraction socket healing was studied in jaws of rats. A severe delay in healing was found in animals irradiated 2 weeks prior to extraction. Retardation of healing to a lesser degree was demonstrated in sockets irradiated immediately after exodontia.
