BISPO, Luciano Bonatelli. Recombinant protein for bone augmentation in Implantology. Rev. Bras. Odontol. []. 2015, 72, 1-2, pp. 30-36. ISSN 1984-3747.

The bone alveolar reabsortion occurs after lost dental by many factors such as: exodontic, traumatism, pathologic process or even atrophy due to disuse. Implant supported rehabilitation requires amount and quality of bone. Autogenous bone has been considered "the gold standard" graft to guided bone regeneration. However, the bone augmentation in this region has been done with biomaterials too, that is any substance, drug, combination of substances of natural or synthetic origin which may be used for a replacement tissue, organ or body function. Although promising, the widespread use of bone morphogenetic proteins in Implantology and in Maxillofacial Surgery demands greater scientific support. The aim of this study was to do a brief review to the use of recombinant proteins and clarify clinical about its indications and true limitations.
