Compression-Resistant Polymer/Ceramic Composite Scaffolds Augmented with rhBMP-2 Promote New Bone Formation in a Nonhuman Primate Mandibular Ridge Augmentation Model.

CONCLUSION: CR scaffolds augmented with a clinically relevant dose of rhBMP-2 (1.5 mg/mL) promoted significant new bone formation. These results suggest that a CR PEUR/ceramic composite scaffold without a protective membrane may be a potential new rhBMP-2 carrier for clinical use.
