FIG. 2.

Micro-computed tomographic (Micro-CT) image of mandibular osseous defect and scaffold design/dimensions. (a–e) The adaptation ratio and statistical evaluation of the scaffold reliability calculated along the entire PDL interface distance (250 μm) within the osseous defect site. (f, g) Scanning electron microscopic (SEM) images showcase the contrasting internal architecture of the random-porous (micro-/nano-scale) and fiber-guiding (micro-/submicron scale) scaffolds.
