The semiquantitative assessment of the bone healing in the control, DBBM, and DFDBBX groups in 4 and 8 weeks. (a) Histological results using Masson’s Trichome staining showed woven bone (yellow arrows), trabecular bone (green arrows), mesenchymal tissue and amorphous substance (black arrows), and collagen fibers (brown arrows) (x100; MT staining). (b) Bone healing scores in the control, DBBM, and DFDBBX groups in 4 and 8 weeks. The mean score of bone healing in the DBBM group was higher than that in the DFDBBX group in 4 and 8 weeks; however, there was no significant difference on both observation periods (); n = 5; .
