Tritiated proline was used to follow the patterns of root growth and alveolar-bone production associated with tooth eruption in rhesus monkeys. Alveolar-bone deposition was seen around the apical regions of both erupting and functioning teeth, which indicated that the apical region was not spatially stable.
