Table 3.
The number of hemi-mandibles analysed per species, and the total number of RTT and RST VOI used in analysis of the trabecular architecture.
| No. hemi-mandibles (No. of individuals) | µCT Scan resolution (µm) | No. of RTT VOI | No. of RST VOI | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Cat | 7 (5) | 19.2–48.6 | 13 | 19 |
| Mangabey | 12 (6) | 57.1–71.1 | 42 | 52 |
| Human | 10 (5) | 74.9–79.5 | 30 | 20 |
| Pig | 12 (7) | 69.5–96.0 | 36 | 48 |
| Rabbit | 12 (7) | 16.6–47.4 | 48 | — |
| Sheep | 12 (6) | 45.5–84.8 | 36 | 36 |
The hemi-mandibles were scanned using a range of resolutions, which were subject to a sensitivity test to ensure that they did not affect the histomorphometric analyses of the trabecular bone. Note that no RST VOI was calculated for the rabbit as post-canine rabbit teeth are single-rooted.
