Figure 3

Control group at 4 weeks observational period (A) Formation of a limited amount of regenerative bone in one of the defects with β-TCP particles in the center. Forming PDL fibers are seen between the forming bone and the roots. H&E, 40×. (B) Higher magnification of the boxed area in the previous figure reveals the immature rims of bone and the forming PDL fibers, H&E, 100×. (C) Dense fibrous tissue formation in some parts of the defects with β-TCP particles among them. Note the very thin lines of bone formation at their edges, Trichrome stain, 40×. (D) Formation of immature and the adjacent highly cellular background, Trichrome stain, 400×. (E) Irregularly organized osteoblasts on the bone border (arrows) and facing disorganized PDL fibers and fibroblasts. H&E stain, 400×. (F) Flattened cementoblasts (arrows) adjacent to the newly forming cementum and facing disorganized PDL fibers and fibroblasts, H&E stain, 400×.
