From: The osteoinductive potential of different root-end filling materials in a rat femur model
Histological sections of rat femur bone stained with Hematoxylin–Eosin on the 28th day. (a) nMTA group; Extensive dilation was detected in the Haversian canals. Filling material available. There is no closure in the defect area. (b) ERRM group; There is enlargement of the Haversian canals. Increased fibrous tissue formation was detected in the bone medulla. There is shrinkage in the defect area. (c) ER, no filling material was observed, there are intense dilations in the haversian canals. There is increased fibrous tissue in the bone medulla. (d) Control group; There are intense deteriorations in the compact structure of the bone with increasing time. (Magnification bar = 200 µm, H&E 400 ×). Arrow: Defect area, Asterisk: Root end-filling material. (n = 7).
