Abstract

Bone morphogenetic proteins (BMPs), belonging to the transforming growth factor-β superfamily, regulate many cellular activities including proliferation and neovascularization. The use of recombinant human bone morphogenic protein 2 (rh-BMP 2) in oral and maxillofacial surgery has seen a tremendous increase, especially with bone grafting materials to promote bone reconstruction processes; even though its interactions with the other essential processes in the human tissues are still not fully clear. investigating the effect of administrating rh-bmp2 on the clinical values of the gingival cell proliferation index Ki67 marker expression in the gingival tissue in comparison with normal human gingival tissue. The study includes 2 groups in a randomized controlled Clinical Trial: 40 gingival samples; 20 normal and 20 have been treated with 0.25µg of rh-BMP2 during dental implantation in the posterior mandible area, taken 3 months later in the time of healing abutments installation using a tissue puncher. Samples will be stained with hematoxylin-eosin and immunohistochemically. The expression of Ki67 will be measured in one way: the number of cells that express the marker. The comparison between groups will be done using One -a way ANOVA test in the numerical data SPSS 17.0 will be used as software. Differences would be considered significant at P=0.05. It is considered that rh-BMP2 can improve gingival tissue proliferation in patients undergoing dental implant treatment, and indicates better healing.
