Bone Morphogenic Protein: Is this Required for New Implant Cases?
Last Updated: Mar 30, 2009
Dr. L. asks:
I am now offering implants to patients and I am trying to keep up with the literature. I do not see my periodontist or oral surgeon using BMP or PRP or any of the new bioactive materials to promote osseointegration. Should I expect them to use these kinds of materials? I send all the difficult implant cases to them. From what I am reading, materials like this are important adjuncts. Should I leave the decision to use these materials up to them or should I request it or should I just forget the whole thing?
