THIS P A P E R is part II of a study on healing following simple gingivectomy in rhesus monkeys. The first paper reported epithelial regeneration; this paper is concerned with the connective tissue healing and regeneration of the free gingiva. Tritiated thymidine radioautography was utilized, in addition to conventional histologic methods, in order to locate in a sequential order the areas of proliferative potential and the dynamics of connective tissue proliferation during healing of a gingivectomy wound.
