  1. Samples of bone substitute products were prepared using a custom-made Teflon mold as indicated in the Materials and Methods. The length and diameter were measured in order to confirm the intended size (8 mm length and 4 mm diameter). Data are presented as mean ± SD.
  2. *, one test sample was discarded due to the presence of air bubbles.
