Measurement of BIC and BAR of specimens

Purple line in (a) represents the bone in direct contact with the implant surface. Purple line in (b) represents the total length of the implants including the apex. In (c), “T” (oxytetracycline hydrochloride) represents the bone in direct contact with the implant surface on Day 7, “A” (alizarin-complexon) represents the new bone in direct contact with the implant surface on Day 28, “C” (calcein green) represents the new bone in direct contact with the implant surface on Day 53, and “BA” represents the area we employed to measure new BAR
