(a) A sample of group I (NeoMTA Plus®) after three months showing the furcation defect packed with a fibrous tissue, hard tissue formation (thin black arrow) and almost regained interradicular bone (blue arrow). (b) A higher magnification of the same sample in Fig. 6a showing newly formed hard tissue (red arrow), vascular fibrous tissue and no inflammatory cells (black thin arrows). (c) A sample of group III (Positive control) after three months showing the furcation defect repaired with a heavy scar tissue, no evidence of hard tissue formation (red arrow) and a preliminary attempt to restore interradicular bone (black thin arrows). (d) A higher magnification of the same sample in Fig. 6c showing resorbed interradicular bone with giant osteoclasts, as a part of the remodeling process (thin black arrows) and no calcifications around the blood vessel (red arrow) [H&E, X4 (a, c) and X40 (b, d)]
