Figure 1. Qualitative assessment of conforming and nonconforming bone-tooth root surfaces at no load (TOP row) and loaded (BOTTOM row) conditions.

Figure 1

Seemingly conforming surfaces are illustrated in an unloaded bone-PDL-tooth complex (A, B) stained with phosphotungstic acid (PTA) [3]. However, under loaded conditions the non-conforming tooth root and alveolar bone surface sites (white stars and box) are highlighted (C, D).
