Method of setting region of interest and evaluating new bone mass surrounding the implant. a The region of interest was the cortical bone region on a 100 μm polished specimen created in the XY plane that passes through the center of the implant body. The measurement points were classified as follows: A, F: peri-implant area. B, C, D, E: normal area. b To evaluate the amount of new bone surrounding the implant, the value obtained by dividing the area occupied by calcified bone in the 300 μm square shown in the figure by the total area excluding the implant was shown as a percentage
