Figure 6
SEM analysis of implanted samples after 28-days of in-vivo implantation.
Top panel provides a low magnification (50X) overview of samples in the three groups while the images in the lower panels have been taken at comparatively higher magnifications to emphasize on the appearance and surface structure of the bone/material composite. The arrows in lower left and middle panel indicate apatite particles while the arrows in the lower right panel show typical trabecular bone formation on the biphasic material loaded with rhBMP-2 and ZA.
