Bone Morphogenic Protein (BMP) in Oral Surgery

At Brazos Valley Oral & Maxillofacial Surgery, we integrate advanced technologies and biocompatible materials to enhance surgical outcomes. One such innovation is the use of Bone Morphogenic Protein (BMP), a naturally occurring protein that plays a transformative role in bone regeneration during oral and maxillofacial procedures.

What is Bone Morphogenic Protein?

Bone Morphogenic Protein is a specialized protein capable of stimulating the body’s own cells to regenerate new bone and cartilage. During your procedure, BMP is applied directly to the surgical site through a collagen sponge. This sponge gradually dissolves over time, allowing the protein to activate the body’s natural healing process. Once BMP has fulfilled its role, it is naturally absorbed and eliminated by the body.

Benefits of BMP in Oral Surgery

Traditionally, bone grafting procedures often involved harvesting bone from other parts of the patient’s body, such as the hip. This method, while effective, could result in discomfort, extended recovery time, and complications at the donor site.

With the introduction of BMP, patients benefit from
  • Elimination of secondary surgical sites
  • Reduced risk of donor site complications
  • Less postoperative discomfort
  • Efficient and predictable bone regeneration
