Figure 4. Histomorphometric and Biomechanical Analysis of Osseointegration.

Figure 4

Histomorphometric measures of the percentage of bone to implant contact (BIC) (A) and the percentage of peri-implant bone (B). Pullout testing parameters of ultimate force (C), stiffness (D), and work to failure (E). Data shown as mean ± SEM; “a” denotes p<0.001 compared to 1 week, “b” denotes p=0.009 compared to 2 weeks, “c” denotes p<0.002 compared to 1 week, and “d” denotes p=0.006 compared to 1 week. For histomorphometric analysis, n=8 at 1 week, n=13 at 2 and 3 weeks, and n=10 at 5 weeks. For biomechanical analysis, n=9 at 1 week, n=8 at 2 weeks, and n=10 at 3 weeks.
