Alveolar Ridge Preservation Using a Novel Synthetic Grafting Material: A Case with Two-Year Follow-Up

Figure 9

Histological sections of bone core biopsy harvested from the regenerated site using a trephine burr. (a) Overview image of the coronal-apical cut through the entire core biopsy showing new bone (NB) formation in the extraction socket. The new bone is marked, and its surface was calculated in accordance to the overall surface of the specimen, revealing a 50.28% percentage of new bone (H&E stain, original magnification ×20). (b) EthOss particles (Gr) are embedded in well-perfused connective tissue (CT) and newly formed bone (NB) (H&E stain, original magnification ×200). (c) High magnification showing new bone (NB) in contact with a graft particle (Gr). Osteocytes (OC) can be detected inside the new bone and osteoblasts (OB) forming osteoid (O) on its outer surface (H&E stain, original magnification ×400).
