The comparison of bone reconstructed images and bone volumetric parameters between the compressive and tensile sides of peri-implant bone. a Representative three-dimensional reconstructed images, coronal section and transverse section images in the compressive and tensile sides. Scale bar, 500 μm. b Analysis of X-ray microscopy volumetric parameters BV/TV, Tb.N, Tb.Sp, Tb.Th and SMI at ROIs in the compressive and tensile sides (n = 5, Mann–Whitney test). All data are represented as mean ± SD. *p < 0.05. **p < 0.01. NS no significance
