Background: The aim of this study was to compare conventional and microwave-assisted decalcification of sheep bone with and without teeth and to detect any difference in tissue detail preservation, staining quality, and rate of decalcification.
Materials And Methods: In this method analysis study, twenty-four specimens consisting of 12 blocks of mandibular molars with their surrounding bone and 12 blocks of mandibular osseous tissue were allocated into two microwave or routine decalcification groups using 5% nitric or formic acid as decalcifying agents. In addition to decalcification rate, a number of variables were used to assess staining quality and tissue detail preservation which were compared between the two groups using Mann-Whitney test ( < 0.
