Table 1

Radiographic density, inflammation rate, blood vessel count, bone lacunae density, bone cell count, trabecular bone thickness, and new bone formation amounts for each sample.

The variable studied	Rats number	Mean ± SD	Mean ± SD	value
		Left	Right
Radiographic density	31	115.4139 ± 11.01717	122.1065 ± 12.62336	0.030^*
Blood vessel count	32	3.0625 ± 3.60946	2.3125 ± 1.80389	0.262
Inflammation rate	32	2.2500 ± 1.52400	2.3750 ± 1.47561	0.625
Bone lacunae density	32	67.1875 ± 40.45024	66.8125 ± 35.54782	0.931
Bone cells count	32	92.1563 ± 62.74532	95.0938 ± 54.00858	0.586
Trabecular bone thickness	32	29.0878 ± 13.36077	34.9725 ± 15.38281	0.058
New bone formation amounts	32	64.1719 ± 20.04381	62.1856 ± 20.7111	0.593

value < 0.05 is statistically significant.
