Abstract:
Quantitative analysis of remodeling activity was done using microradiographs of horizontal ground sections of human alveolar bone obtained from autopsies. The results demonstrated no significant age- or sex-dependent variations. The local distribution of remodeling activity in younger individuals pointed to a tipping mesial movement of the teeth. In older individuals this distribution showed a more random pattern.
