Summary
The alteration of bone formation by an acute intoxication with uranyl nitrate is demonstrated by histologic and histometric methods. When compared with the controls, intoxicated animals showed a markedly lower density in healing sockets, while bone formation was reduced in healing sockets as well as in metaphyseal bone.
