Effect of GBR in combination with deproteinized bovine bone mineral and/or enamel matrix proteins on the healing of critical‐size defects

Abstract

The predictability of bone formation in critical-size defects depends mainly on the presence or absence of barrier membranes (GBR). The combined use with deproteinized bovine bone mineral and/or enamel matrix proteins did not significantly enhance the potential for complete healing provided by the GBR procedure.
