Histological evaluation. (a, b) The left specimen is made of compact mature bone undergoing remodelling, with a few marrow spaces; no residual biomaterial particles are found, as only traces of BCP mixed with mineralized bone matrix are present. (c, d) The right specimen is made of residual particles of BCP surrounded by compact bone. In some areas, traces of residual particles surrounded by mineralized bone matrix are evidenced; multinucleated cells are in close contact with the BCP particles. In the marrow spaces, new blood vessels are evident.
