Fig. 9.

Boxplot comparisons of mineral apposition rates (MARs) between induced periodontal disease (PGa) and control (CG) animals. Upper and lower limits of box represent 75th and 25th percentiles of each region, respectively. The upper and lower whiskers represent scores outside the middle 50%. Furcation: the region underneath the root furcation; B-B and B-P: buccal and palatal surfaces of buccal ridge respectively; P-B and P-P: buccal and palatal surfaces of palatal ridge respectively. Symbols outside box represent outlier (o) or extreme values (*). Horizontal line in each box represents median of the MAR. Asterisks indicate p < 0.05 when PGa was compared with CG.
