Popis: Recombinant human osteogenic protein 1 (rhOP1), also known as bone morphogenetic protein 7, was investigaed in a newly developed experimental model, the rat lateral mandibular augmentation model. Algipore and Bio-Oss Block were applied as carrier materials. Extensive induction of newly formed bone was demonstrated on the test side containing rhOP1 and did not occur on the control side without rhOP1. The interstitial bone formation was limited to the augmented area and weas not observed in the surrounding masseter muscle. The morphology of the newly formed bone differed in both carrier systems, which may be an important characteristic for the clinical indication of carrier systems in combination with bone morphogenetic proteins.
