Effect of Surgical Implantation of Recombinant Human Bone Morphogenetic Protein‐2 in a Bioabsorbable Collagen Sponge or Calcium Phosphate Putty Carrier in Intrabony Periodontal Defects in the Baboon
Bibliographic record
Abstract
BACKGROUND: Recombinant human bone morphogenetic protein-2 (rhBMP-2) in a proper carrier has been shown to induce clinically relevant bone formation for several oral/maxillofacial and periodontal indications and to stimulate regeneration of the periodontal attachment. The objective of this study is to evaluate regeneration of alveolar bone, cementum, periodontal ligament, and associated root resorption and ankylosis following surgical implantation of rhBMP-2 in an absorbable collagen sponge (ACS) or a calcium phosphate putty (alphaBSM) carrier in 3-wall intrabony periodontal defects in the baboon. METHODS: rhBMP-2/ACS and rhBMP-2/alphaBSM were implanted in surgically produced, maxillary and mandibular, large size, 3-wall intrabony defects in 4 baboons. Contralateral jaw quadrants were implanted with buffer/ACS, buffer/ alphaBSM, or served as sham-operated surgical controls. Treatments were allocated to left and right, maxillary and mandibular, jaw quadrants following a randomization schedule. Four months following implantation, block biopsies of defect sites were obtained, processed, and subjected to histologic and histometric analysis. RESULTS: Defect sites receiving rhBMP-2/ACS and rhBMP-2/alphaBSM demonstrated significantly greater regeneration than controls. No significant differences were observed between defect sites receiving rhBMP-2/ACS or rhBMP-2/alphaBSM regarding epithelial migration and connective tissue attachment and new bone formation. However, rhBMP-2/ACS supported significantly greater new cementum formation. Ankylosis or root resorption were not observed. CONCLUSIONS: The results of this study support the use of rhBMP-2 to enhance periodontal regeneration of intrabony periodontal defects. While this novel technology holds promise, refinement in carrier systems may provide the key to enhancement of the regenerative potential.

How this classification was reachedexpand
Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
