Electron microscopic and morphometric investigations of changes in the cellular and non-cellular components of bone regenerates pretreated with constant magnetic field (CMF), laser beam (LB) or combined magnetic-laser stimulation (CMF + LB) have been conducted. The study was performed on rats with hole-like tibia lesions. CMF and LB were found to reduce significantly the intercellular edema and to activate the cellular components responsible for fibrogenic regenerate formation. CMF + LB stimulation had a most selective effect on the differentiation of cellular components that caused a more rapid replacement of lesions by newly formed bone tissue.
