From: Moringa oleifera leaf extract promotes the healing of critical sized bone defects in the mandibles of rabbits

Fig. 4

A Control group shows the intermingle between graft particles (arrows) and the formed mature bone. (H&E; original magnification ×100). B Test group shows the newly formed bone that is lined by active plump osteoblasts (thick arrow) and contains numerous osteocytes (thin arrows). (H&E; original magnification ×100). C Light micrograph of the control group showing bone trabeculae within defect with marrow spaces of moderate vascularity (Masson’s trichrome; original magnification ×100). D Light micrograph of the test group showing mature bone within the defect, the marrow spaced show evident fibrous tissue and moderate vascularity. (Masson’s trichrome; original magnification ×100).
