ConclusionsWithin the limitations of this study, it can be concluded that rhBMP?2?loaded CM performed lateral onlay grafts as effectively as rhBMP?2?loaded BHC while showing less bone?residual bone substitute contact ratio in dogs. The loading of CMs with rhBMP?2 might therefore be a recommendable treatment option for facilitating lateral onlay graft combined with rhBMP?2. (Source: Clinical Oral Implants Research)
