Determination of cavity location and confirmation of the prepared cavity and injected sealer. (A) Digital radiography and crosssectional micro-CT image of the rat mandible through the first or second molar as indicated by the red lines (Bagi, 2011).
24 Semicircles surrounded by a solid red line represent the location of the cavities. Three cavities were prepared within a slightly wider range than between the lines. (B) The photo of left mandible of the rat. Three cavities and the sealer filling them are observed (yellow arrow). (C) Digital radiography taken after sacrifice of the rats to confirm the cavity location and sealer injection.
