Clinical applications of rhBMP-2 in maxillofacial surgery

Alan S Herford et al. J Calif Dent Assoc. 2007 May.

Abstract

Materials and methods: Examples of defects including mandibular continuity defects, preprosthetic atrophic alveolar ridge deficiencies, traumatic defects, and maxillary clefts were included.

Results: All patients demonstrated osseous regeneration stimulated by rhBMP-2.

Conclusion: rhBMP-2 is successful in regenerating bone in a variety of maxillofacial defects. In the future, rhBMP-2 will play a significant role in the treatment of bone deficiencies.
