ABSTRACT: Purpose
Although bone morphogenetic protein-2 (BMP-2) possesses potent osteoinductivity, there have been some concerns on the safety of BMP-2 and BMP-2-incorporated bone substitutes used for bone formation. On the other hand, BMP-2-loaded calcium phosphate cement (BMP-2@CPC) has been developed and used for bone regeneration in oral implantology. Therefore, this study aims to investigate this product's biocompatibility and clinical safety after being used in maxillofacial surgery.Materials and methods
A rat model was employed to assess the osteoinduction and biocompatibility of BMP-2@CPC. Further, a retrospective investigation was carried out: 110 patients who received BMP-2@CPC treatment after their maxillofacial surgery were recruited to describe relative adverse events.
