Figure 4- Microcomputed tomography (μCT) of Rat critical-size jawbone defects treated with the SSB, DBBM at postoperative 2 weeks. (a-b) Representative reconstructions from μCT are shown for the rat critical-size jawbone defect treated with DBBM (a) and SSB (b); green color indicates the newly formed bone in the defect area. Scale bar = 1mm; (c) Quantitative analysis of Quantitative analysis of bone volume/tissue volume (BV/TV), trabecular thickness (Tb. Th), trabecular separation (Tb. Sp), and trabecular number (Tb. N) in defect sites treated with DBBM and SSB (n = 5). Student’s t test was used for the statistical analysis. ns indicates no significance. *p < 0.05. **p < 0.01.
