Bone Morphogenetic Protein

Bone Morphogenetic Protein (BMP) is a cutting-edge advancement in regenerative oral surgery. It helps stimulate your body’s natural bone growth without requiring bone to be harvested from other areas of your body. BMP is often used in procedures like dental implants, sinus lifts, and jaw reconstruction to enhance healing and ensure long-term success.
How Bone Morphogenetic Protein Supports Bone Growth
BMP is a naturally occurring protein that encourages the body to regenerate bone by activating specific cells responsible for bone and cartilage formation. When placed at a surgical site using a collagen sponge, BMP safely dissolves over time, leaving behind strong, newly formed bone tissue—without the need for additional grafting from other areas.
Bone Morphogenetic Protein is a biologically active molecule that stimulates bone regeneration. Applied during surgery using a collagen sponge, BMP triggers the body’s healing response to grow new bone naturally. As the sponge dissolves, BMP fades away—leaving behind healthy, regenerated bone in the targeted area.
  • No need for bone harvesting from other areas of the body
  • Reduces overall surgical time and patient discomfort
  • Promotes faster and more reliable bone growth
  • Eliminates complications associated with secondary surgical sites
  • Versatile use in many oral and maxillofacial procedures

Common Uses for BMP

Bone Morphogenetic Protein is frequently used in procedures that require bone regeneration or restoration, such as:

  • Dental implant placement in areas with bone loss
  • Ridge augmentation and sinus lift procedures
  • Reconstruction of jaw defects or trauma-related bone loss

Is BMP Safe?

BMP has been studied extensively and is FDA-approved for select uses in oral and maxillofacial surgery. It is a safe and effective alternative to traditional bone grafting, especially for patients who may not be good candidates for donor-site harvesting. Complications are rare, and most patients benefit from quicker recovery and improved bone density at the surgical site.
