- Abstract
Previous studies have shown a limited potential for bone augmentation following guided bone regeneration (GBR) in horizontal alveolar defects. Surgical implantation of recombinant human bone morphogenetic protein-2 (rhBMP-2) in an absorbable collagen sponge carrier (ACS) significantly enhances bone regeneration in such defects; however, sufficient quantities of bone for implant dentistry are not routinely obtained. The objective of this study was to evaluate the potential of rhBMP-2/ACS to enhance GBR using a space-providing, macro-porous expanded polytetrafluoroethylene (ePTFE) device.
