However, in vivo differences in their (5.44 ± 3.65 mm , n = 7) was greater than the other groups potential for bone regeneration remain unclear. The present at 2 weeks post-surgery, and the rhBMP-2/ACS and rhBMP- study aimed to compare the effects of recombinant human 9/ACS groups (18.17 ± 2.51 and 16.30 ± 2.46 mm , n =7, (rh) BMP-2 and rhBMP-9 on bone formation in rat calvarial respectively) demonstrated significantly greater amounts of critical-size defects (CSD).
