“…Bone density was presented as the sole jawbone tissue characteristic in 18 publications (Lindh et al 1996a, 1997; Kido et al 1997; Taguchi et al 1997; Misch et al 1999a, 1999b; Homolka et al 2001, 2002; Beer et al 2003; Nkenke et al 2003; Moheng & Feryn 2005; Turkyilmaz et al 2006, 2007a, 2007b, 2008a, 2008b; Gulsahi et al 2007; Yang et al 2008) (Table 8), of which eight were performed on human cadaver jaws. Different classification systems and measurement units were used, such as as the amount of calcium hydroxyapatite expressed in mg/cm 3 (Lindh et al 1996a, 1997; Kido et al 1997; Homolka et al 2001, 2002; Beer et al 2003; Nkenke et al 2003), in g/cm 2 (Gulsahi et al 2007), in percentage of mineralized bone tissue (Lindh et al 1997), in buccal and oral cortical bone volume trabecular bone volume (Nkenke et al 2003), in intertrabecular connectivity (Nkenke et al 2003) or in HU (Taguchi et al 1997; Moheng & Feryn 2005; Turkyilmaz et al 2006, 2007a, 2007b, 2008a, 2008b).…”
