Pore Size Measurements and Some Age-Related Changes in Human Alveolar Bone and Rat Femur

Abstract
Pore size was not changed and bone density was consistently decreased in alveolar bone from patients with periodontal disease. Bone density increased with age in normal alveolar bone, and lacunar-canalicular volume decreased with age in both normal and diseased alveolar bones. Normal rat femur showed similar age-related changes.
