Figure 5

Anorganic bovine bone (toluidine blue and acid fuchsin): (a) the specimen appeared to be constituted by two separate fragments, where several particles of residual biomaterial were evident (original magnification 12X); (b) the areas of bone neoformation in tight contact with the biomaterial surface were present. In some fields, new bone formation inside the biomaterial particles could be observed (original magnification 40X).
