Micro-CT evaluation of buccal dehiscence repairing. (A) Representative sagittal images of buccal dehiscence defects 3 months after GTR procedure. (B) The schematic diagram of micro-CT assessments showing vertical alveolar bone loss (VABL) measured from the coronal aspect of new bone to the cement-enamel junction (CEJ) of the distal root of P3 or P4. (C) The histomorphometric analysis of bone volume/total volume (BV/TV), trabecular number (Tb. N) and bone mineral density (BMD). (*P < 0.05; **P < 0.01).
