Figure 8

Histological photography from decalcified samples. (a,b,c) Stained by Masson’s trichrome. (a) From BDT by ELRs after 90 days. It showed bone edge defect (white line) connected to newly formed bone (white asterisk) surrounded by fibroblastic tissue (black asterisk). Decalcified sample.40X. Scale bar 200 μm. (b) At BDT area shows inside fibroblastic tissue (black asterisk) a newly formed trabeculae (white asterisk) with preliminary bone marrow formation (yellow asterisk). Inside, it was observed new vessels formation (black arrows) near to bone surface. 100X. Scale bar = 100 μm. (c) At high magnification, bone formed tissue shows pagetoid pattern (white asterisk) with its irregular arrangement. Mature (red) and immature (blue) bone tissue with osteoblasts on surface (black arrow), and osteocytes (white arrow) inside. 400 X magnification. Scale bar = 20 μm. (d) Decalcified samples stained by Verhoeff´s elastic stain. Bone defect treated (BDT) shows ossicles (white asterisk) formed around structures like biomaterial debris (gray asterisk). New bone was surrounded by fibroblastic tissue (black asterisk) with many angiogenesis formations containing blue outlined erythrocytes (black arrow). Bone adopted an irregular arrangement resembling pagetoid-like bone (white asterisk). 40X magnification. Scale bar = 100 μm. (e) Higher magnification (black square) from 8.d. New pagetoid-like bone (white asterisk) formed on amorphous areas compatible with remains of ELR´s (gray asterisk), surrounded by angiogenesis (black arrow). Osteoblasts (white arrow) and osteocytes (grey arrow) were observed. 400X magnification. Scale bar = 20 μm.
