OBJECTIVES: The aim of the present study was to immunohistochemically evaluate lateral ridge augmentation using a particulated (BOG) or block (BOB) natural bone mineral biocoated with rhGDF-5 and rhBMP-2 in dogs. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Three standardized box-shaped defects were surgically created at the buccal aspect of the alveolar ridge in each quadrant of eight beagle dogs. After 2 months of healing, the chronic-type defects were randomly allocated in a split-mouth design to either (i) BOG or (ii) BOB biocoated with (a) rhGDF-5 or (b) rhBMP-2, respectively. Uncoated grafts served as controls. After 3 and 8 weeks, dissected blocks were prepared for immunohistochemical [osteocalcin (OC)] and histomorphometrical analysis [e.g. area (mm(2)) of new bone fill (BF), newly formed mineralized (MT) and non-mineralized tissue (NMT)]. RESULTS: rhBMP-2 biocoated BOG revealed significantly highest BF and MT values at 3 (upper and lower jaws - UJ/LJ - compared with BOG) and 8 weeks (UJ - compared with rhGDF-5). Biocoating of BOB using both rhGDF-5 and rhBMP-2 resulted in significantly increased MT values at 8 weeks (UJ/LJ - compared with BOB). In all groups, NMT adjacent to BOG and BOB scaffolds revealed pronounced signs of an OC antigen reactivity. CONCLUSIONS: Within the limits of the present study, it was concluded that both rhGDF-5 and rhBMP-2 have shown efficacy; however, their bone regenerative effect was markedly influenced by the carrier.
