The Role of Bone Morphogenetic Proteins BMP-2 and BMP-4 and Their Related Postreceptor Signaling System (Smads) in Distraction Osteogenesis of the Mandible

Abstract: Distraction osteogenesis has become a widely used clinical approach in the treatment of craniofacial and orthopedic disorders. The exact biological mechanism of bone formation remains illusive, however. The aim of this study was to evaluate the role of bone morphogenetic protein-2, bone morphogenetic protein-4, and transforming growth factor-beta superfamily-related postreceptor signaling glycoproteins Smads 1 through 5 in distraction osteogenesis. Twelve sheep randomly divided into two groups were distracted … Show more

“…3,4 Recently, several animal studies have described the expression patterns of BMPs during distraction osteogenesis in long bones or mandibles. [5][6][7] BMPs were shown to play vital roles in governing new bone formation after osteodistraction. Therefore, introducing BMPs into the distraction gap may be a reasonable approach to accelerate callus formation.…”
