FIGURE 1.

Positioning of the measurement slices in microCT data. The coronal (green), central (red) and apical (blue) oblique slices approximately perpendicular to the alveolar socket. The coronal slice was positioned at 0.5 mm from the most coronal part of the alveolar socket whereas the apical slice was positioned at 2 mm from the most apical part of the alveolar socket. The central slice was located approximately in the middle of both abovementioned slices. (A) Isosurface of the skull, (B) oblique slice oriented along the central alveolar socket (yellow)
