Effect of anodized zirconium implants on early osseointegration process in adult rats: a histological and histomorphometric study

摘要

Light micrographs of new bone generated around control implants (Zr0), H–E. Photomicrography of the rat tibia longitudinal section. Details of the trabecular bone tissue surrounding the implantation site. Enlargement of image B (black inset) showing active osteoblasts of the peri-implant bone tissue (PIB). Photomicrography of an osteoclast on mixed trabeculae. Arrowheads, regions where PIB was not observed; compact bone; calcified cartilage; epiphyseal plate; region where the implant was located; bone marrow; osteoblasts; osteoclasts; osteocytes; trabeculae. Scale bar: 170 μm ( ); 50 μm ( ); 12 μm ( , )
