Figure 3. Dynamic histomorphometric data. MS/BS rates in the healing control at 3 (N = 6), 6 (N = 7), and 12 (N = 7) wks and force applied at 3 (N = 8), 6 (N = 7), and 12 (N = 6) wks in the maxilla (a). MS/BS rates in the healing control at 3 (N = 8), 6 (N = 7), and 12 (N = 8) wks and force applied at 3 (N = 7), 6 (N = 5), and 12 (N = 8) wks in the mandible (b). The three-week MS/BS is significantly higher than that in the other groups in both jaws. MAR rates in the healing control at 3 (N = 6), 6 (N = 7), and 12 (N = 7) wks and force applied at 3 (N = 8), 6 (N = 7), and 12 (N = 6) wks in the maxilla (c). MAR rates in the healing control at 3 (N = 8), 6 (N = 7), and 12 (N = 8) wks and force applied 3 (N = 7), 6 (N = 5), and 12 (N = 8) wks in the mandible (d). The three-week MAR is significantly higher than that in other groups in both jaws. BFR rates in the healing control at 3 (N = 6), 6 (N = 7), and 12 (N = 7) wks and force applied at 3 (N = 8), 6 (N = 7), and 12 (N = 6) wks in the maxilla (e). BFR rates in the healing control at 3 (N = 8), 6 (N = 7), and 12 (N = 8) wks and force applied at 3 (N = 7), 6 (N = 5), and 12 (N = 8) wks in the mandible (f). The three-week BFR is significantly higher than that in other groups in both jaws. *Significantly higher rate than in the six- and 12-week groups (p < 0.05); **significantly higher than in the three-week groups (p < 0.05); ***significantly higher than in the 12-week groups (p < 0.05); HC = healing control group; FA = force-applied group.
