Figure 5.

Quantitative results of histological evaluation (A, B) and biomechanical test (C) after 8-week treatment with OPG or vehicle. Compared to control, OPG significantly increased bone area density (BA), bone-to-implant contact (BIC), and the maximal push-out force of screws. Data are expressed as mean ± SD, error bars in the figure are presented as SD, n = 10 specimens per group, **p < 0.01 vs. control (Student’s t-test)
