Material and Methods: The randomized controlled clinical trial included twenty patients with bilateral partial edentulous of the mandibular premolar and molar region. Each patient received one implants on each side. Only one side received a 0.25 \u00b5g injection of rhBMP-2 into the gingival flap and grafted material during guided bone regeneration (GBR) for dental implantation. And the other side received GBR without injection. Three samples were collected from each patient as follows: one from the anterior area of the mandible (control group #1) collected at the time of all implant surgeries, and the two other samples during the placement of healing abutments at 4 months of follow-up, from treated side with rh-BMP-2 (test group) and untreated ones (control group #2). A total of 60 gingival samples were collected. Samples were stained with hematoxylin-eosin, and immunohistochemistry was performed with a vascular endothelial growth factor marker. The number of new vessels in each sample was counted. Result: Statistical analyses showed a significantly higher number of new vessels in the gingival tissue of the test group. Conclusions: Rh-BMP-2 injections into the gingival flap significantly improved new blood vessel formation.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/life13122298","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2023,12,4]],"date-time":"2023-12-04T03:40:58Z","timestamp":1701661258000},"page":"2298","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":2,"title":["Effect of rh-BMP-2 in the Initiation of Neovascularization in Human Gingival Tissue: A Split-Mouth Clinical Study"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"13","author":[{"given":"Mansour","family":"Chantiri","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Periodontology, Faculty of Dental Medicine, Lebanese University, Beirut 27798, Lebanon"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-0321-9764","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Samir","family":"Nammour","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Dental Sciences, Faculty of Medicine, University of Liege, 4000 Liege, Belgium"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Sami","family":"El Toum","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Oral Medicine and Maxillofacial Radiology, Faculty of Dental Medicine, Lebanese University, Beirut 27798, Lebanon"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Toni","family":"Zeinoun","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery, Faculty of Dental Medicine, Lebanese University, Beirut 27798, Lebanon"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2023,12,4]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"893","DOI":"10.1126\/science.150.3698.893","article-title":"Bone: Formation by autoinduction","volume":"150","author":"Urist","year":"1965","journal-title":"Science"},{"key":"ref_2","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"S39","DOI":"10.4103\/0975-7406.191964","article-title":"Bone morphogenetic proteins: Signaling periodontal bone regeneration and repair","volume":"8","author":"Anusuya","year":"2016","journal-title":"J.
