Figure 6: Representative microhardness results in the L-PBR model.
Representative buccal side of indentation sites (left) and the corresponding μCT image (right) of (A) control alveolar bone, and (B) L-PBR. White squares show indentation areas in the alveolar bone between M1 and M2. Blue squares show indentation areas in the alveolar bone between M2 and M3. Microhardness values (HV) are the means of indentations in white and blue square areas. M1: 1st molar, M2: 2nd molar, M3: 3rd molar. Abbreviations: L-PBR = ligature-induced periodontal bone resorption.
