FIG. 3.

Percent object volume of bone formation within the cranial defect. Explanted constructs and surrounding tissues were scanned by microcomputed tomography and analyzed to determine the percentage of volume within the defect space occupied by mineralized tissue for both PLLA constructs (A) and coral constructs (B). The reported values for the coral constructs include the volume of the scaffold. Data are reported as mean ± standard deviation (n = 8). Statistical significance between groups and the corresponding control is denoted by *.
