FIG. 3.

Maxillary (A), mandibular (B), and combined (C) morphometric horizontal area alveolar bone resorption in rats (n = 6) following infection with the P. gingivalis wild type or SerB mutant strain. Each bar indicates the mean level of horizontal area alveolar bone loss for the distance measured between the cementoenamel junction and alveolar bone crest of three molar teeth. Error bars indicate standard deviations. Asterisks denote significant differences from values obtained with sham-infected control rats (P < 0.05). Pg, P. gingivalis; SerB, ΔSerB; Cont, sham-infected control.
