Quantification of the percentage of macrophages (stained as CD68+ cells) presence in the inflammatory active zone (*p < 0.01, #p>0.01). The number of CD68 positive cells did not significantly increase with increasing implant duration from day 5 to day 15. However, the number of macrophages was significantly decreased as the material gradually absorbed by the host at day 30.
