Abstract
The application of bFGF and the application of rhBMP-2 alone did result in predictable bone generation in the irradiated mandible with the bone apposition being equal to that of the non-irradiated side. The application of both growth factors together or none at all after irradiation results in significantly reduced bone apposition.
