Comparative Histological and Histomorphometric Results of Six Biomaterials Used in Two-Stage Maxillary Sinus Augmentation Model after 6-Month Healing

Figure 7

Synthetic micro-macroporous biphasic calcium-phosphate (HA-β-TCP 30/70) (toluidine blue and acid fuchsin): (a) trabecular bone with marrow spaces and residual biomaterial, located in the apical portion of the sample, could be observed (original magnification 12X); (b) the residual biomaterial was surrounded by newly formed bone and no gaps were present at the bone biomaterial interface. In some fields, the graft seemed to undergo resorption. Many large blood vessels could be seen (original magnification 40X).
