Figure 3. Relationship between interfacial resistance and micro-CT/functional parameters.

Figure 3

Correlation coefficient of interfacial resistance (IS and MRL) and micro-CT parameters (BMD, BV, BMC) was evaluated by 18 μm thick individual concentric peri-implant tissue layer (a, d, g, j) and cumulative layer (b, e, h, k) in osteotomy-alone (OA) and osteotomy+osseous defect (OS) groups. While stronger correlation between micro-CT parameters and interfacial resistance was noted in the 0.180 mm thickness peri-implant region of OA group (b, e), and 576 μm in the OS group (h, k), further calculation of correlation coefficient of functional parameters (FBAM and FCAM) and interfacial resistance (IS and MRL) was performed within 200 μm concentric peri-implant area in the OA group (c, f), and 600 μm area in the OS group (i, l).
