Sinus floor augmentation using mineralized freeze-dried bone allograft combined with recombinant human bone morphogenetic protein-2 (rhBMP-2): A long-term retrospective study.
Journal of Dental Sciences 2024 April
BACKGROUND/PURPOSE: The combination of recombinant human bone morphogenetic protein-2 (rhBMP-2) with a carrier material has not been extensively studied. This study aimed to evaluate the clinical, radiological, and histomorphometric outcomes of sinus floor augmentation using a 3:7 mixture of cancellous and cortical freeze-dried bone allografts (mixed AG) combined with rhBMP-2.
MATERIALS AND METHODS: Mixed AG was used for sinus floor augmentation in a total of 21 patients with a residual alveolar bone height <5 mm. Among the total 47 sites, augmentation with and without rhBMP-2 was performed in 26 and 21 sites, respectively. Radiographic parameters were assessed using cone-beam computed tomography. After a six-month healing period, core biopsies were harvested for histomorphometric analysis.
RESULTS: The bone gain after healing was 13.36 ± 3.9 mm and 12.07 ± 3.8 mm in the mixed AG alone and mixed AG with rhBMP-2 groups, respectively. The survival rate of implants in both groups was 100% during the follow-up period. The proportion of newly formed bone was 24.6 ± 10.2% and 39.7 ± 18.3% in the mixed AG alone and mixed AG with rhBMP-2 groups, respectively ( P < 0.05). Moreover, the percentage of residual graft material was 21.0 ± 12.2% and 9.6 ± 10.0% in the mixed AG alone and mixed AG with rhBMP-2 groups, respectively ( P < 0.05).
CONCLUSION: Mixed AG combined with rhBMP-2 could be a suitable material for sinus floor augmentation. This combination may reduce the treatment time and improve the predictability of implant placement.
