Synopsis

Recombinant Human Bone Morphogenetic Protein (rhBMP-2) regenerates normal bone de-novo without the need and added morbidity of bone harvesting. Now ridge preservations, ridge augmentations, sinus lift surgeries, and even continuity defects can be reconstructed with such grafting using tissue engineering directly in the patient, a process referred to as in-situ tissue engineering.

Learning Objectives
  1. Discuss growth factors and bone regeneration through tissue engineering;
  2. Better utilize rhBMP-2 and the best surgical techniques to enhance their performance; and
  3. Achieve a quality and quantity of bone regenration for jaw reconstruction without using autogenous bone.
