Figure 4
Histological views and histomorphometric data for bone responses to the ZrO2 and Ti implants. Light microscopic views of the implants with modified Goldner’s Masson trichrome staining at 10 and 28 days after installation into rabbit tibiae (scale bars from left to right: 1 mm at × 12.5, 200 μm at × 50, and 100 μm at × 100 magnification). The exiting mature bone was stained blue (white arrow), and new immature bone or osteoid was stained red (white-edged arrowhead) at the bone–implant interfaces.
