Bone Morphogenetic Protein as Bone Additive around Dental Implant and its Impact on Osseointegration: a Systematic Review.

Statement Of The Problem: Bone morphogenetic protein (BMP), a potential osteoinductive agent, was systematically reviewed for merits and demerits when used as a bone additive that was intervened during the surgical phase of dental implant placement; and suitable drug carriers that could withstand the functional load and deliver BMP at its lowest concentration.

Purpose: To identify the carriers and concentration of BMP acceptable during surgical phase of implant placement and evaluate its efficacy in bone gain and osseointegration.

Materials And Method: The study design was systematic review.

Microbiome and the inflammatory pathway in peri-implant health and disease with an updated review on treatment strategies.

Crestal bone preservation around the dental implant for aesthetic and functional success is widely researched and documented over a decade. Several etiological factors were put forth for crestal bone loss; of which biofilm plays a major role. Biofilm is formed by the colonization of wide spectra of bacteria inhabited around dental implants.
