Figure 4

Photomicrograph, representing area of interest of experimental groups (SHAM and OVX) considering implant texturing methods (AC and PEO) in the histological analysis by Hematoxylin and Eosin (HE) staining at 12× and 40× magnifications. Graphical representation of mean values and standard deviation (N.cm) for reverse torque of experimental groups (SHAM and OVX). *OVX group: surface treatment comparison (AC and PEO) P < 0.05. **SHAM group: surface treatment comparison (AC and PEO) P < 0.05. Higher values were observed for PEO surface in both analyses, showing higher bone formation values, consequently higher reverse torque values.
