Bone Morphogenetic Protein![]() In dentistry, BMP is typically used to restore bone to a site that has experienced bone loss due to tooth loss. We will open the site that needs additional bone and place a BMP sponge around the existing bone, carefully suturing the site closed over the sponge. The BMP will encourage new bone growth and as it does it will be absorbed into the body. There is no need to remove the sponge as your body will break it up naturally. Once the bone has grown to an acceptable level it will be strong enough to support permanent dental appliances such as dental implants.
