Ca3(PO4)2 content of the specimens. β-TCP (grey box), HA/PDLLA (black box). The 12-month HP group indicated a significantly higher Ca3(PO4)2 content compared to the 1- and 3-month groups. The 12-month TCP group had a significantly lower Ca3(PO4)2 content compared to the 1- and 3-month TCP groups; the TCP group also demonstrated a significantly higher Ca3(PO4)2 content compared to the HP group at 1 and 3 months. However, the TCP and HA groups were not significantly different at 12 months. : versus TCP group. †: versus 1 month. §: versus 3 months.
