From: Tantalum implanted entangled porous titanium promotes surface osseointegration and bone ingrowth
Sequential fluorescence labeling observation: (a) red fluorescence (labeling by Alizarin red S) represented the new bone formation at 6 weeks and green fluorescence (labeling by calcein) represented the new bone formation at 12 weeks and images were merged in the third row (merged 1). Images in the last row (merged 2) were the fused images of in the third row and EPT implants. (b) Illustration of selected area to evaluate new bone formation process. (c) Histogram showing the percentage of different color area stained by fluorochromes. #(p < 0.05) when compared with Unimplanted group; *(p < 0.05) when compared with Ca-implanted group.
