Soft Tissue Augmentation with Autologous Platelet Gel and β-TCP: A Histologic and Histometric Study in Mice

Figure 2

(a) β-TCP particles surrounded by osteoid matrix and new bone. Acid fuchsin and toluidine blue 100x. (b) An initial formation of immature bone (NB) extending from the periphery of the β-TCP is present. Lymphocytes were present around the β-TCP. Acid fuchsin and toluidine blue 200x. (c) β-TCP is completely surrounded by connective tissue (CT). No inflammatory cell infiltrate or macrophages are present. Acid fuchsin and toluidine blue 50x. (d) Only around some particles is it possible to observe the presence of new bone (NB) and mature bone. Acid fuchsin and toluidine blue 250x.
