Oxygen tensions in vivo were made on mongrel dogs. The normal oxygen tension of animals breathing room air was found to average 56 mm/Hg. Hyperventilating with air raised the reading to near 85 mm/Hg, while hyperventilating with 100 per cent oxygen increased the gingival oxygen tension to above 300 mm/Hg. Vasodilation with acetylcholine resulted in an increase to 110 mm/Hg, while vasoconstriction with epinephrine decreased the oxygen tension to 58 mm/Hg.
