Successful Integration of Recombinant Human Bone Morphogenetic Protein-2 (rhBMP-2)-Coated Dental Implant: A Case Report.

This case report describes the use of a recombinant human bone morphogenetic protein-2 (rhBMP-2)-coated dental implant for immediate placement in a 65-year-old male with a nonrestorable maxillary right first premolar. Due to the compromised condition of the tooth, extraction was necessary, and immediate implant placement was considered appropriate based on the patient's dental and overall health. The rhBMP-2-coated implant was selected to enhance bone regeneration and promote osseointegration in the severely resorbed alveolar ridge. Over a six-month follow-up period, the patient exhibited successful implant integration, minimal postoperative complications, and favorable functional and aesthetic outcomes.
