From: A preclinical study comparing single- and double-root 3D-printed Ti–6Al–4V implants
Representative micro-computed tomography (a) and analysis (b, c). (a) Gray and green areas indicate the VOI and 3D-printed implants, respectively. BMD and BV/TV were measured in the gray area. (b) The BV/TV of single-root and multi-root 3D printed implant were 67.11 ± 13.05% and 60.76 ± 5.43%, respectively, showing no statistically significant difference. (c) The bone mineral density of single-root and multi-root 3D printed implant were 1.11 ± 0.23 g mm−3 and 1.02 ± 0.08 g mm−3, respectively, showing no statistically significant difference. CT: computed tomography, VOI: volume of interest, 3D: 3-dimensional, BMD: bone mineral density, BV/TV: bone volume/tissue volume.
