The total amount of new bone, marrow content, and old bone according to cortical (a) and marrow (b) compartment for implants placed via either diaphysis (n = 9) or metaphysis (n = 9) at different healing periods. Mineralized bone to implant contact (new + old) for cortical (b) and marrow (d) compartments at the various healing times. p < 0.05; between cortical and marrow compartments at metaphysis sites (*), at diaphysis sites (**) or (#) between diaphysis and metaphysis within cortical and marrow compartments and (***) for mineralized bone to implant contact, respectively. Comparisons are based on the same healing stage in weeks (w).
