Figure 3

Histological images of Ostim (a) and Bio-Oss (b) specimens retrieved 5 months after surgery. Arrow in A shows osteoid (O) in the margin and new bone (NB) inside Ostim particles (OST) and osteocytes (OC) within lacuna and connective tissue (C). This image indicated signs of active bone remodeling and resorption with Ostim. Arrow in (b) shows particles of the Bio-Oss (BO), new bone (NB) around the Bio-Oss particles, and connective tissue (C) (hematoxylin and eosin; ×20).
