The resorption lacunae were examined by microscopy. (A) The percentage of the resorbed area (i.e., bright areas in (B)) was quantified and expressed as the mean and SD of 3 independent experiments. * = p < 0.05; ** = p < 0.01. (B) Representative images of resorption pit formation (original magnification × 200).
