Mechanical and Histological Effects of Resorbable Blasting Media Surface Treatment on the Initial Stability of Orthodontic Mini-Implants

Table 7

Histomorphometric analysis of the machined group and RBM group in noncalcification specimens at 4 weeks after the implantation.

Measurement	⁢Machined group		⁢RBM group		P value
	Mean	SD	Mean	SD
BIC (%)	68.21	9.12	69.23	12.53	0.793
BA (%)	67.99	10.68	77.30	11.82	0.026

Bone-to-implant contact (BIC) and bone area (BA) were measured.
SD: standard deviation.
Independent -test; .
