Jaw defect models in rats and mice: maxillary tooth extraction model; maxillary drilling model; drilling model of the maxilla after tooth extraction; mandibular drilling model. The maxillary tooth extraction model is established by extraction of the maxillary first molar. The maxillary drilling model is established by drilling near the first molar of the maxilla. The drilling model of the maxilla after tooth extraction is established by drilling after extraction of the first molar. The mandibular drilling model is established by drilling in the body of the mandible. Schematic created with Microsoft PowerPoint
