Abstract

A new field in dental implantology is developing with the goal of finding new ways to improve the osteoconductivity of bone substitutes and to study new molecules able to dictate cellular differentiation and improve bone regeneration. The real future in bone regeneration seems to be in connection with the rhBMP-2s, currently obtained by synthesis using recombinant DNA. Since the first rhBMP-2 studies in humans by Boyne, There are many studies for bone regeneration at oral and maxillofacial area. The rhBMP-2 is widely used at sinus augmentation, alveolar bone defect, and socket preservation.

Key Words: BMP;alveolar bone;guided bone regeneration;
