Maturation of collagen. a Expression of collagen maturation-related genes during wound healing. Relative gene expression levels were quantified based on Day 3 of Cont. **p < 0.01. b Low magnification of Picrosirius Red staining for collagen maturation during wound healing (bars: 200 μm) and medium magnification images of connective tissue around the apical part of the peri-implant epithelium are shown (bars: 50 μm). Pale stained area inside the dotted line indicates immature fibrous connective tissue. The area decreased with time
