Midsagittal sections were made from decalcified paraffin-embedded femurs at 2 to 4 weeks postoperatively (PO) and stained for quantitative analyses of osteoclasts. Tartrate-resistant acid phosphatase-positive osteoclasts (red colour) adjacent to the newly formed collagen fibre (light beige) were higher in number in bones harvested from groups C and PC than those from groups W and P. n = 5–6 per group. Black bar represents 200 μm. Green bar represents 50 μm. CIA; collagen-induced arthritis, P.g; Porphyromonas gingivalis administration.
