Effects of Bisphosphonates on Osseointegration of Dental Implants in Rabbit Model

Figure 8

Histological assessment for the control and ZA-treated groups at week 4 is illustrated in the picture (2x objective), and measurement of bone-to-implant contact (BIC) is made using the 10x objective on both sides of the implant. Histological assessment for the control and ZA-treated groups at week 8 is illustrated as above (2x objective), and measurement of bone-to-implant contact (BIC) is made using the 10x objective on both sides of the implant. Comparable mineralization is shown in both groups and at different time points.
