The Influence of Ficus deltoidea in Preserving Alveolar Bone in Ovariectomized Rats

Figure 8

H&E-stained histology images of all groups at the interradicular septum of the first molar after two months of intervention period at 4x magnification. Severe alveolar bone resorption was observed in the OVXN group compared with BL and other groups. AB, alveolar bone; BL, baseline SO, sham-operated; OVXN, ovariectomized; OVXP, ovariectomized + estrogen; OVXF, ovariectomized + F. deltoidea.
