Histology samples. Ground sections (approx. 300 μm, surface stained with toluidine blue) were well suited for assessment of new bone formation, material resorption and histomorphometrical evaluation (Figure a), while thin sections allowed assessment of cellular reactions e.g. osteoblast activation (Figure b, c, thin black arrows) and biomaterial degradation through macrophages (Figure b, c, thick white arrows).
