The results suggest that simultaneous measurements of soft-tissue blood flow and temperature is a useful technique to evaluate the microcirculation of soft tissue surrounding implants.

The osteogenesis-promoting effects of TB4 observed in critical-sized defects could be of practical use in bone regeneration therapy.
