The revolutionary bone regeneration
What Is Bone Morphogenetic Protein (BMP)?
Bone Morphogenetic Protein (BMP) is a revolutionary advancement in bone regeneration. This naturally occurring protein stimulates the body’s own cells to generate new bone and cartilage, enhancing the healing process without the need for a traditional bone graft.
During surgery, BMP is applied to a specialized collagen sponge that is placed at the treatment site. As the sponge gradually dissolves, BMP signals the body’s cells to form new, healthy bone, seamlessly integrating with the surrounding structures. Once BMP has completed its task of jump-starting bone regeneration, it naturally disappears from the body.
Benefits of Bone Morphogenetic Protein (BMP)
- Eliminates the Need for Bone Grafts – Traditional bone grafting often requires harvesting bone from the patient’s hip, jaw, or another site, which can lead to postoperative pain and additional surgical risks. With BMP, new bone can be generated without a donor site, significantly reducing discomfort and recovery time.
- Faster & More Predictable Healing – BMP enhances the body’s natural bone-healing process, making it an ideal option for patients needing bone regeneration for dental implants or reconstructive surgery.
- Reduces Surgical Complications – Since no additional surgical site is required for bone harvesting, BMP eliminates the risk of donor-site complications, such as pain, infection, or limited mobility.
- Ideal for Complex Bone Defects – BMP is particularly beneficial for patients with insufficient bone volume in the jaw, making it an excellent option for bone grafting before dental implant placement or reconstructive procedures.
