Often absent; if present, laminated and limited to 1 to 2 thin layers; eccentric and often related to off-center drill defect
|
Haversian canals small and repair rate slow; polymorphonuclear leukocytes not in granulation tissue; occasional subperiosteal resorptive pockets, but no polymorphonuclear leukocytes
|
Quick repair with woven bone; inflammatory cells range from none to foci of many intact polymorphonuclear leukocytes; these leukocytes associated with macrophage clean-up; diffuse process

Usually laminated with 1 to 2 layers; often eccentric but not related to off-center drill defect
|
Occasional polymorphonuclear leukocytes in Haversian canals
|
Subtle, diffuse increase in polymorphonuclear leukocytes; microabscesses present, but hard to find
|

Sunburst type; often nearly circumferential; no apparent cause
|
Focally enlarged Haversian canals filled with granulation tissue and fragmented polymorphonuclear leukocytes; occasional microabscess
|
Definite diffuse increase in polymorphonuclear leukocytes with fragmented forms; several definite microabscesses

Florid, always sunburst type; circumferential
|
Subperiosteal, endosteal, and intracortical resorption associated with fragmented polymorphonuclear leukocytes; microabscesses
|
Many microabscesses or great increase in polymorphonuclear leukocytes diffusely

As above, but with sinus-tract formation and soft-tissue microabscesses
