A surface planimeter was used to assess tetracycline-labeled regions of undecalcified sections of the palates of ten male guinea pigs. High to low values for labeled bone were found in the palatal alveolar process, the median palatine suture, and the basal bone, respectively. Also present were statistically significant age-associated differences.
