Figure 5.
Microscopic measurements of epithelial downgrowth (DG), regenerated cementum (CM), regenerated periodontal ligament (PDL) and bone angle (BA) of the 4 treatment groups 3 months after the implantation. (a): Epithelial downgrowth; (b): Regenerated cementum; (c): Regenerated periodontal ligament; (d): Bone angle. Horizontal dashed lines in (a–d) represented the mean value of healthy control. (e): Result of the 4 measurements summarized in a heat map. The mean value of each measurement was given in the grids. Values obtained from healthy control also included for comparison.
