Abstract

Architecture and mineralization are important determinants of trabecular bone quality. To date, no quantitative information is available on changes in trabecular bone architecture and mineralization of newly formed bone during development. Three-dimensional architecture and mineralization of the trabecular bone in the mandibular condyle from six pigs of different developmental ages were investigated with micro-CT. Anteriorly in the condyle, a more advanced state of remodeling was observed than posteriorly, where more active growth takes place. Posteriorly, the bone volume fraction increased with age (r=0.87; P
