Characterization of deproteinized dentin for its use in bone tissue engineering

Figures & data

Figure 1 SEM image of deproteinized dentin (x20.000)

Figure 2 Cumulative pore size distribution of deproteinized dentin. TD (resp. CD) corresponds to thermally deproteinized dentin at 600°C or 800°C according to Vennat et al. (resp. chemically deproteinized dentin)
