Data are expressed as mean ± S.E.M. Differences between group means were assessed using one-way ANOVA analysis followed by Bonferroni post hoc test or unpaired two-tailed Student’s t-test. Means with different letters are statistically different. A p-value < 0.05 was considered statistically significant. Student’s t-test: * p = 0.0028. Person’s correlation coefficient (r). ISQ, Implant Stability Quotient.
