In this experimental protocol, the objective was to evaluate the biological behavior of two xenogenic scaffolds in alcohol-induced rats through histomorphometric and Picrosirius Red staining analysis of non-critical defects in the tibia of rats submitted or not to alcohol ingestion at 25% /. Eighty male rats were randomly divided into four groups ( = 20 each): CG/B (water diet + Bio-Oss graft, Geistlich Pharma AG, Wolhusen, Switzerland), CG/O (water diet + OrthoGen graft, Baumer, Mogi Mirim, Brazil), AG/B (25% / alcohol diet + Bio-Oss graft), and AG/O (25% / alcohol diet + OrthoGen graft).
