Histological Review of Demineralized Dentin Matrix as a Carrier of rhBMP-2

摘要

In 2007, recombinant human bone morphogenetic protein-2 (rhBMP-2) was approved for use in humans at a concentration of 1.5 mg/mL with absorbable collagen sponges as an alternative to autogenous bone grafts for alveolar ridge augmentation, defects associated with extraction sockets, and sinus augmentation. However, the use of supraphysiological doses and the insufficient retention of rhBMP-2, when delivered through collagen sponge, result in dose-dependent side effects related to off-label use. Demineralized dentin matrix (DDM), an osteoinducing bone substrate, has been used as an rhBMP-2 carrier since 1998. In addition, DDM has both microparticle and nanoparticle structures, which do not undergo remodeling, unlike bone. , DDM is a suitable carrier for BMP-2, with the continued release over 30 days at concentrations sufficient to stimulate osteogenic differentiation. In this review, we discuss the histological outcomes of DDM loaded with rhBMP-2 to highlight the biological functions of exogenous rhBMP-2 associated with the DDM carrier in clinical applications in implant dentistry.
