Table above lists the implantation schedule for all twelve animals used in this study. In the case of Stimulan-G, Cerament-G and Herafill-G test groups, all four defects in one animal were all implanted with the same material. For the control animals, two defects were allocated as empty controls (negative control) while two defects were filled with geneX paste (control)
