Fig. 10From: The influence of storage and heat treatment on a magnesium-based implant material: an in vitro and in vivo studyResults of the evaluation of the “true-3D-thickness” and its variance over the investigation period of 48 weeks. The “true-3D-thickness” decreased obviously 12 weeks after surgery in every storage group accompanied by an increase in variance at the same time point. Exception is the group after 0 week storage, which showed a rise of this parameter from scanning date 0Back to article page
