Figure 3.
CT scan showed superior regenerative periodontal tissue in SCAPs group compared with 0.9% NaCl group. (a, b) Three-dimensional CT images revealed limited bone formation in 0.9% NaCl group 12 weeks after transplantation (a). SCAPs-mediated nearly complete alveolar bone regeneration (b). Analysis of CT results showed that the efficiency of newborn bone in the SCAPs group was significantly better than the 0.9% NaCl group (c). Student's t-test was performed to determine statistical significance (∗∗p<0.01).
