Fig 4

Micro-CT and morphometric measurements of altered compressive loading and unloaded groups. (4A) micro-CT analysis of bone volume fraction, (4B) micro-CT analysis of trabecular thickness and, (4C) micro-CT analysis of trabecular spacing, (4D) Representative image of the morphometric parameters measured in the experimental and control groups, (4E) Mandibular length on the 2D x-ray (faxitron), (4F) Condylar head length on the 2D x-ray (faxitron) and, (4G) Condyle width on the 2D x-ray (faxitron). (*: p<0.05 = significant difference between the altered loading and control group. Histograms represent means ± SD.
