Figure 4. Quantitative analysis of active root resorption in normal and hypofunctional periodontium groups. The root resorption lacunar length (A), depth (B), and area (C) after 15 days of experimental tooth movement revealed that the root resorption in the hypofunctional periodontium group was significantly greater than that in the normal periodontium group (* = p value < 0.05). The horizontal lines of the box and whisker-plot diagram represent the 95th, 75th, 50th, 25th, and 5th percentiles, ordering from the top.
