Figure 1.
Three-dimensional μCT images of a DO-XRT left-hemimandible (left image) and a DO-XRT-DFO left-hemimandible (right image). The incisor, the anterior-most portion of the mandible, is to the right in both images. Note the difference in regenerate union for the distraction gap posterior to the molars. The more robust regenerate is seen in the irradiated hemi-mandible treated with deferoxamine.
