Bone defects in the experimental animals were filled with four sizes of β-TCP granules. Bone and microvascular corrosion cast specimens were then prepared for SEM, and the volume of the newly-formed vascular network was calculated from the SEM images. Newly-formed vasculature was observed in the granule interspaces with all sizes of granules. In particular, the newly-formed vasculature in smaller granules was uniformly distributed. The volume of the newly-formed vasculature was approximately equal in both the experimental and control animals. When β-TCP granules were used to fill bone defects, newly-formed vessels were more uniformly distributed in defects filled with small granules, which are considered advantageous for microvascular formation.}, school = {大阪歯科大学}, title = {Microvascular formation in interspaces with different sizes of β-tricalcium phosphate granules used to fill bone defects}, year = {}, yomi = {ヤスミツ, ヒデヒト} }
