MicroCT measurements of alveolar bone width and volumetric bone mineral density (vBMD) of the bone formed in the extraction sockets of the rats in the zoledronic acid (ZA), ZA + teriparatide (TP) and control groups
| Radiological measurements | n | Mean ± SD | p-value |
|---|---|---|---|
| Alveolar bone width (mm) | |||
| ZA | 9 | 3.16 ± 0.35a | 0.0032a |
| ZA + TP | 9 | 3.31 ± 0.32a | |
| Control | 9 | 2.79 ± 0.20a | |
| vBMD (mg HA cm−3) | |||
| ZA | 8 | 791.38 ± 22.79a | 0.0247a |
| ZA + TP | 8 | 835.53 ± 35.33a | |
| Control | 7 | 823.94 ± 31.83 |
SD, standard deviation.
Comparisons were performed among groups using one-way ANOVA.
The Tukey test was used as post hoc to define significantly different groups. Significance was set at p < 0.05.
