From: Evaluation of a novel nanocrystalline hydroxyapatite paste Ostim® in comparison to Alpha-BSM® - more bone ingrowth inside the implanted material with Ostim® compared to Alpha BSM®

Figure 4

Alpha-BSM ® at 1 month. Masson's tricrome staining and 2× magnification of decalcified bone with calcium phosphate appearing as a still relatively compact matter. The osteoconduction process and newly formed bone were of limited grade and localized onto the interface (black arrows) between the edge of the original bone defect and the implant surface. (New bone = blue, Alpha-BSM = red)
