(a) The ultimate failure load of each group at 4- and 12-week time points. (b) The stiffness of each group at 4- and 12-week time points. (c) Histomorphometric analysis of new bone formation within each kind of implant. (d) The light microscope images of pathological sections of each kind of group. High-resolution microscope VG staining images of pathological sections to the longitudinal axis showed the details of graft-to-bone interface. The newly formed bone was stained red and fibrous tissue was stained dark blue. The black arrows indicate newly formed bone and the green arrows indicate fibrous tissue. indicates .
