Figure 5.
Light micrographs taken from matrices after Trypsin degradation assay after 7 days of storage. (a) Fibro-Gide surface at 60× magnification. (b) Fibro-Gide surface at 120× magnification. (c) Mucograft surface at 60× magnification. (d) Mucograft surface at 120× magnification. (e) Mucoderm surface at 60× magnification. (f) Mucoderm surface at 120× magnification. Scale bar is 500 µm in (a–c), and 100 µm in (d–f). Disorganized fiber structure caused by partial degradation with rippled collagen fibrils (arrows) is observed.
