Bone augmentation of the XXXX for dental implants using rhBMP-2 and @entity702 mesh: histological and tomographic analysis.

UNASSIGNED: The @entity393 or @entity130 to the @entity1347 often results in a @entity8333 for prosthetic tooth rehabilitation. This study evaluated the use of @entity702 mesh and recombinant @entity1 @entity1841 (rhBMP-2) for the repair of major @entity79 in the alveolar bone. Five @entity1 were enrolled in the study; these @entity1 required implant replacements for two contiguous missing teeth in the @entity1347 , which lacked sufficient bone. Residual ridges were augmented with rhBMP-2 and @entity702 mesh to direct the geometry of the newly formed bone. Seven months later, a bone biopsy specimen was removed from the implantation site before osteotomy and insertion of dental implants. Cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) scans were obtained preoperatively, postoperatively (baseline), and 48 months after implantation to evaluate implant healing. All dental implants were placed in the grafted sites without the need for further bone augmentation. The most frequent adverse effects were @entity4 . Biopsy specimens were used to evaluate bone quality. CBCT scans provided a prediction of alveolar restoration and long-term success. The combination of rhBMP-2 and @entity702 mesh provided effective augmentation of the @entity1347 prior to implant placement.
