The difference of new bone ingrowth was evaluated through histological observation and histomorphological measurement. Reproduced from Wang et al. (2016) with permission. (a) Undecalcified sections of samples were stained with toluidine blue at 12 weeks. The percentage of new bone ingrowth and pores in different EPT implants measured from toluidine blue staining (b) and back scattered SEM images (c) at 6 and 12 weeks. (d) The back scattered SEM images of new bone around and inside pores of EPT implants at 6 and 12 weeks.
