FIGURE 9.4
Porosity of bone macerated in each solution. Each point is the average value from three repeated
measurements and the error bar is ±one standard deviation of the repeated measurements.
measured for the bones prepared under different macerations are plotted in
Figure 9.4. Each datum is the average with one standard deviation of three
measurements at random locations of the bone sample. The mean porosities
of bones macerated in water, trypsin, Surf, and Biozet were 5.26%, 4.92%,
5.34%, and 4.57%, respectively. Statistical analysis indicated that there was
no significant difference among the porosities of bones macerated in the
different solutions (ANOVA, p > 0.05).
