Fig. 7From: Tissue-engineered bone construct promotes early osseointegration of implants with low primary stability in oversized osteotomyBone-to-implant contact (BIC) and bone mechanical properties. a: %BIC result. b: Insertion torque value (ITV, N/cm). c: Removal torque value (RTV, N/cm). Recorded ITV of the four groups during the implant placement. After eight weeks of healing, the RTV revealed that mechanical fixation formed in all groups. And the BIC% demonstrated a similar trend as shown by RTV. Group D was significantly more potent than the other groups (**, p < 0.01, ns, no significant difference)Back to article page
