Microscopic images of the tissue samples of all groups (hematoxylin and eosin staining). (a) Healthy group: Normal periodontal membrane, alveolar bone, and cement. (b) Periodontitis group: Periodontium with intense vascularization (v), hyperemia with osteoclasts (arrow) at the alveolar bone border, and moderate inflammatory cell infiltration (asterisk). (c) Prophylaxis group: Mild vascularization (v) and mild inflammatory cell infiltration (asterisk) in the periodontal ligament, osteoclasts (arrow), and osteoblasts (arrowhead) in alveolar bone. (d) Therapeutic group: Osteoblasts (arrowhead) formed at the border of the alveolar bone.
