The time course of the specific activity of 45Ca in the dentin and enamel of rat incisors and molars was followed after an intravenous injection of the radiotracer. It was then correlated with the specific activity of 45Ca in plasma to obtain the accretion rates on the dentin of molars and incisors. The exchangeable calcium pool sizes in the dentin and the enamel of the molar were also calculated.
