Assessment of Atmospheric Pressure Plasma Treatment for Implant Osseointegration

Figure 3

In vivo bone and implant characteristics as a function of ((a) and (b)) time in vivo collapsed over surface type and ((c) and (d)) implant surface type collapsed over time in vivo. BIC: bone-to-implant contact; BAFO: bone area fraction occupancy; Ti: titanium; and CaP: calcium phosphate. Asterisks indicate statistically homogeneous groups (different numbers of asterisks depict that groups were statistically different at ) assessed for animals.
