In the experimental group, newly formed bone was observed in the area of the bone window; however, bone formation reduced between 12 and 24 weeks. In the control group, the area of the bone window was empty, although some new bone formation was observed toward the edges of the bone window. BV and BMC of each group were determined at four, 12 and 24 weeks (Fig. 5). BV and BMC were higher in the experimental group than in the control group at 12 weeks (p < 0.05). No signif- icant intergroup diferences were observed in either analysis at four or 24 weeks (p > 0.05; Fig. 5). Journal of Oral Science & Rehabilitation Volume 3 | Issue 1/2017 47
