a-c Biopsy retrieved 7 days after RME: (a) 3D microCT reconstruction; (b) Study in 3D of the thickness distribution basing on a color map; (c) 2D sampling color mapped slice. d-f Biopsy retrieved 30 days after RME: (d) 3D microCT reconstruction; (e) Study in 3D of the thickness distribution basing on a color map; (f) 2D sampling color mapped slice. Thickness scale for the color map at the bottom-center position. g Histogram of the distribution of the newly formed bone thickness in both the RME-treated midpalatal biopsies. These data demonstrate that there was a slight (not significant; p > 0.05) increase in thickness of the struts from 7 days to 30 days after RME
