Animal experimental study of the treatment of periapical disease with recombinant human bone morphogenetic protein-2 composite / 华西口腔医学杂志

ABSTRACT

<p><b>OBJECTIVE</b>To investigate the effect of the treatment of periapical diseases with recombinant human netic protein (rhBMP-2) composite in dog models so as to provide basis for its clinical application.</p><p><b>METHODS</b>The endotoxin-bacteria mixed fluid was injected into each root canal of the experimental teeth of dogs and the animal periapical were built. The rhBMP-2 composite was mixed by rhBMP-2, TCP, collagen and metronidazole and used in the treatment cal diseases in dog models as root apex screen. The imageology and pathology research were went on.</p><p><b>RESULTS</b>The effective rate of the experimental group was remarkably higher than that of the carrier group and the control group with remarkable ference (P < 0.05). The quality of the repair of tissue was obviously better than the two other groups.</p><p><b>CONCLUSION</b>The rhBMP-2 composite is a promising biological root-canal filling material.</p>
