Pulpal blood flow in developing teeth was determined by the isotope fractionation method incorporating diffusible and nondiffusible tracers. While the calculated blood flow to some cephalic tissues did vary according to tracer, blood flow to the total pulp remained essentially the same throughout tooth development.
