The aim of this study was to evaluate the tensile resistance of mineralized and demineralized bones. Twelve mice were used. Specimens were collected and divided into groups 1 and 2, mineralized and demineralized calvarial bone, and groups 3 and 4, mineralized and demineralized femoral bone. There was not a statistically significant difference (analysis of variance) between the regions; however, when comparing the demineralized and mineralized groups, a statistically significant difference (Student test) for the mineralized group was noticed.
