Abstract
The biomaterial implants using rhBMP-2 and LZ-8 had good biocompatibility and osteogenetic capabilities in the rabbit sinus model. Bone healing in rhBMP-2-treated defects was excellent and showed a significant difference compared with LZ-8. However, LZ-8-treated defects also exhibited bone regeneration, and this traditional Chinese medicine may possess osteogenic potential. Further investigations of the mechanism and application of this protein in osteogenesis are needed.
