Descriptive statistics of trabecular bone parameters of the human mandibular condyle

	Mean ± SD	Range
Trabecular porosity (%)	79.3 ± 5.1	72.6–87.4
Trabecular thickness (mm)	0.15 ± 0.03	0.11–0.22
Trabecular separation (mm)	0.70 ± 0.10	0.56–0.85
Trabecular number (mm−1)	1.44 ± 0.15	1.16–1.67
Trabecular bone surface area (mm−1)	16.44 ± 3.28	12.05–22.46
Degree of anisotropy	1.94 ± 0.21	1.71–2.23
Mineralization bone (mg HA cm−3)	857 ± 41	790–906

SD values are a measure for inter-individual variation (n = 10); HA, hydroxyapatite.
