TL;DR
The concentrations of strontium-90 in deciduous incisor teeth of children born in St. Louis between 1949 to 1957 are in accord with estimated bone levels, suggesting that humanDeciduous teeth are useful as an index of stronto-90 accumulation during the time the teeth are formed.

In adults the strontium-90 concentration per gram calcium in vertebrae, rib, and long bone shaft is 1.8, 1.1, and 0.5 times skeletal average, respectively, while in newborns and young children, the distribution is much more uniform although these data are more limited.
