Van Gieson picro fuchsin differential tis-
sue stain (SVG) was used for staining the
sections. SVG stains soft tissue green-
blue and mineralized tissue red-orange,
whereas graft material will stain a

were scanned to digital format using
a histology slide scanning system
(Aperio Technologies, Vista, CA).
Bone, soft tissue, and graft material
are then coded using specific colors
through Photoshop software (Adobe,
San Jose, CA). QWin software (Leica
Microsystems Inc., Buffalo Grove,
IL) is then used to quantify percent-
age values based on specified colors
with precise results with mega pixel
accuracy.
RESULTS
All surgical procedures were
uneventful, and there were no compli-
cations during the healing period for all
patients. Observations showed no signs
of infection in either connective tissue or
bone in proximity of the surgical sites for
all time points. One patient was excluded
from the study because he failed to
return to the follow-up appointments
for unknown reasons. The remaining
9 patients were compliant and during
the initial follow-up no complications or
infection were observed during reentry
surgery for histological sample retrieval.
The histological results for the dif-
ferent groups are presented in Figure 3.
From a healing morphology standpoint,
a similar healing pattern was observed for
both groups, with new vital bone found

als. Woven bone was observed through- Fig. 3. A, Bone core with new vital bone and BB (*) observed in a bluish-greyish color.
