Long-Term In Vitro Degradation of a High-Strength Brushite Cement in Water, PBS, and Serum Solution

Figure 17

Correlation between compressive strength and porosity as evaluated by gravimetric analysis for specimens kept in (a) H₂O, (b) PBS, and (c) serum solution ( = 12 for all groups). Fits to (3) are shown as a continuous line and 95% confidence intervals are shown as dotted lines.
