Bone Morphogenic Protein
Last Updated: Jan 16, 2007
Dr. H. asks:
I have just read about using Bone Morphogenic Protein (rhBMP-2) to grow new bone around dental implant fixtures where bone has been lost after initial placement (Implant Dentistry 2006;15:361). I have not been able to find any long-term studies for this method. Have any of you used this technique to grow new bone to cover the exposed dental implant fixture? What has been your experience? What are some other options for treating some of the complications I see?
