Bone formation in periodontal fenestration defects at 3 weeks of healing. A-C) Representative renderings and coronal cross-sections of untreated defects (A) and defects receiving AO (B) and MO (C) hydrogels. Scale bars are 1 mm. D) Bone defect fill, given as the ratio of new bone volume to total defect volume in untreated defects (patterned bar) and defects treated with AO (gray bar) and MO hydrogels (white bar). E) Bone mineral density of new bone in defects. N=6 rats. One-way ANOVA with Tukey post hoc. *p<0.05, ***p<0.001.
