Fig. 3From: Osteo-regeneration personalized for children by rapid maxillary expansion: an imaging study based on synchrotron radiation microtomography3D microCT rendering of the biopsies retrieved 7Â days (a) and 30Â days (b) after the RME. Both the specimens clearly showed the meshwork of the bone perforated by non-mineralized spaces. The direction indicated by the red arrows corresponded to the section plane of histological and SEM micrographs. The right image offers a better view of the canals (yellow arrows) that cross the whole thickness of the bone to reach the sutural channelBack to article page
