Abstract
In 15 juvenile Yorkshire pigs averaging 23.5 kg in weight, 15 periosteal flaps based on the temporal muscle were raised on each side. One side served as control after the temporal arteries were severed. These periosteal flaps were transposed into the infraorbital region and were fixed to the maxillary periosteum by means of a subciliary incision. Radiographic follow-up over 1 year revealed new bone formation. Sample biopsies were microscopically examined and demonstrated the presence of new bone.
