Figure 3 Bone tissue formation (Bone-implant-contact%; Bone marrow%) around two types of titanium implants. 3D-printed and plasma-coated titanium implants 45 d (n = 10) and 90 d (n = 10) after implantation in the distal metaphysis of the femur of rats. Data are presented as mean ± SD. A: Bone-implant contact (Bone-implant-contact%) is significantly higher at day 90 for the implant with 3D-printed titanium; B: Bone marrow% is significantly lower at day 90 for the implant with 3D-printed titanium. NS: Not significant; aP < 0.05.
