Bone Morphogenetic Proteins in Periodontology

Bone regeneration and repair have long been challenging tasks in dental medicine, particularly in the context of periodontal disease, where the loss of supporting bone tissue poses significant clinical hurdles. This book explores the historical isolation of BMPs, their mechanisms of action and clinical applications in periodontology and implantology. As key components of the extracellular matrix, BMPs stimulate de novo bone formation. Understanding their role and proper utilization of carriers are critical for successful clinical outcomes. By harnessing BMPs' potential, practitioners can significantly enhance periodontal and implant therapies, advancing patient care in bone regeneration.
