Tensile resistance of mineralized and demineralized rat bones in different regions (calvarial and femur).
The aim of this study was to evaluate the tensile resistance of mineralized and demineralized bones. Twelve mice were used. Specimens were collected and divided into groups 1 and 2, mineralized and demineralized calvarial bone, and groups 3 and 4, mineralized and demineralized femoral bone. There was not a statistically significant difference (analysis of variance) between the regions; however, when comparing the demineralized and mineralized groups, a statistically significant difference (Student test) for the mineralized group was noticed.
