There has been a lot of buzz on the discovery of a bone creating protein that was determined to help implants getting a firm grip on the jaw bone thus increasing the success rate. The said protein, used as a coating on the dental implant would encourage the growth of bones onto the implant which is more or less 50/50 on the success scale. These odds lessen if the bone structure is too thin for the implant to successfully integrate thus leading to failure.
Introducing the bone growth protein would greatly impact the realm of dental impacts one that is so dependent on the growth of bone onto the said appliance.
