Different-colored fluorochromes were administered sequentially to guinea pigs and the rate of bone formation measured in their condylectomized and control contralateral hemimandibles. The differences in values of condylectomized and control contralateral sides for demethylchlortetracycline- and total surface area-labeled bone were statistically signifrcant but were not significant for 2,5-bis [N-N1 -di-(Carbomethyl) aminomethyl]- and hematoporphyrin-labeled bone.
