Figure 4. — General observation of the newly formed bone induced by the implants after dura mater elevation. Comprehensively, new bone formation was observed below the original bone within the space raised up by the two implants and bone formation seemed to be consistent at 4 and 8 weeks. Note that a considerable amount of bone formation was in between the two implants (arrows) connecting the two implants together. (a and a′) Bone formation below the calvarial bone at 4 weeks; (b and b′) bone formation below the calvarial bone at 8 weeks.

HA: HA-coated implant; NC: non-coated implant; NB: newly formed bone; OB: original bone (outlined by dotted lines); scale bar in histological images = 600 µm; scale bar in micro-CT images = 1 mm.
