Three‐Dimensional Quantification of Alveolar Bone Loss in <i>Porphyromonas gingivalis</i>‐Infected Mice Using Micro‐Computed Tomography

Abstract

The present study describes a novel micro-CT technique for volumetric evaluation of alveolar bone loss in mice. This technique is relatively simple and accurate, and due to its high sensitivity, enables the investigator to reduce the number of animals needed in each experimental group.
