Evaluation of the Human Recombinant Bone Morphogenetic Protein-2 Combined With Anorganic Bovine Bone in Maxillary Sinus Augmentation: A Prospective Study.
The purpose was to evaluate the effects of recombinant human bone morphogenetic protein-2 (rhBMP-2) combined with anorganic bovine bone (ABB) on bone regeneration following maxillary sinus augmentation. Sixteen patients (9 men, 7 women; mean age: 59.6 y) who required sinus floor elevation for implant placement in the m...
