Figure 3

X-ray images of a control sample (A, C, and E) and a particle-treated sample (B, D, and F). Peri-implant radiolucent areas were present more often at the distal end of implant in the particle-treated group than in the control group. The three-dimensional trabecular bone renderings from μCT of the entire region between the endocortical surface and the implant show less bone adjacent to the distal one-third of the implant in a rat treated with particles (F) than in the control rat (E). Note that the implant is not shown in these three-dimensional reconstructions. Scale bar is 1mm (panels E and F).
