  1. The areas of resorption on different bone materials were measured using ImageJ software. Significant differences were found in the Mega-oss, Mega-TCP, and Bio-Oss groups between RAW 264.7 cells, with and without differentiation. The resorption areas in the Mega-oss and Mega-TCP groups were higher than those in the Bio-Oss groups. Data are shown as means ± SD. Significant differences were assessed with a paired t test: *p < 0.05.
