Bone Response to Titanium Implants Coated with Double- or Single-Stranded DNA

Table 3

Percentage of the measured BIC (%).

Implants	3 Weeks	6 Weeks
Ti	20.5	41.2
DNA-d/protamine	55.3	65.5
DNA-s/protamine	59.8	66.9

Values in parenthesis indicate SD.
Different small letters indicate significant differences among Ti, DNA-d/protamine, and DNA-s/protamine implants at 3 weeks or at 6 weeks (p < 0.05).
Different large letters indicate significant differences between 3 weeks and 6 weeks in the same implant material (p < 0.05).
