Table 4.

Bone formation score at the implant-bone interface and implant interior, together with the mineral apposition rate for the four scaffolds (from manual measurements of the mineral apposition rate performed from the periphery of fluorescent images). Significant differences (non-paired T-test, n = 14, p < 0.05) are indicated by brackets. No differences can be identified between the scaffold types in terms of bone regeneration at the bone-implant interface, whereas the score for the amount of nascent bone observed within the interior of both polyamide scaffolds (PB and PC) is significantly higher in comparison to both titanium scaffolds (TB and TC).
