MATERIALS AND METHODS: Examples of defects including mandibular continuity defects, preprosthetic atrophic alveolar ridge deficiencies, traumatic defects, and maxillary clefts were included. RESULTS: All patients demonstrated osseous regeneration stimulated by rhBMP-2. CONCLUSION: rhBMP-2 is successful in regenerating bone in a variety of maxillofacial defects. In the future, rhBMP-2 will play a significant role in the treatment of bone deficiencies.
