SE, standard error.

Measurement location, JDS measurement location medially and distally; Measurement direction, vertically and horizontally; Measurement: AC-MC-V, from the alveolar crest in the trabecular bone to the bone 2.0 mm over the MC; MC-V, in the MC region; MC-IB-V, from the trabecular bone below the MC to the superior border of the inferior cortical bone; IB-V, in the inferior cortical bone region; AC-IB-V, from the alveolar crest in the trabecular bone to the end of the inferior cortical bone; SMCP, at the superior MC peak corresponding to the border of the MC; IMCP, at the inferior MC peak corresponding to the border of the MC; AC-MC-Ho, 2.0 mm above the MC; MC-Ho, the MC region; MC-IB-Ho, the trabecular bone below the MC; IB-Ho, the inferior cortical bone region; AC-MC-HoP, 2.0 mm below the superior cortical bone of the edentulous JDS (or mathematical average of horizontal measurements in medial and distal parts of the dentate JDS trabecular bone 2.0 mm below the superior cortical bone) when visibility of the MC superior border is poor.

Measurement values are presented as mean, SE (standard error) in relative measurement units.
