Histologic picture of harvested core in low × 10 (a), medium × 20 (b), high × 40 (c, d), and very high × 100 (e, f) magnifications under direct (a–e) and polarized (d, f) light. Histological picture of undecalcified section reveals vital bone lined by osteoblasts and embedded osteocytes (square-shaped marker). The amorphous areas of graft material surrounded by the vital bone are evident with collagenous tissue in-between. The trabecular spaces stained blue are seen with vascular elements (triangle-shaped marker). The new bone growth adherent to graft suggests the facilitation of bone growth by graft. The lack of inflammation suggests acceptance/absence of rejection of graft material (arrow-shaped marker) by the host bone
