We previously reported the possible utility of bacterial cellulose (BC) as a new dental treatment material. BC has a high absorptive capacity, good mechanical strength, and good volume retention. BC loaded with bone morphogenetic protein-2 (BMP-2) might allow effective alveolar bone augmentation. We created critical frontal bone defect models in 12 male Japanese white rabbits and divided them into four groups: sham; BC (BC grafting only); BMP-2 (treated with BMP-2 solution only); and BC+BMP-2 (grafted with BC loaded with BMP-2). Newly formed bone volume was calculated via hematoxylin-eosin staining evaluation. The proliferating cell nuclear antigen and osteocalcin levels were determined by the immunohistochemical staining analysis. All measured indices of the BC+BMP-2 group were significantly superior to those of the other groups (all p &lt; 0.05). BC maintained the graft space and released BMP-2 in a sustained manner, promoting optimal bone formation. The BC+BMP-2 combination enhanced bone regeneration and shows promise as a useful means of clinical pre-dental implant bone augmentation in the maxillary sinus.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/ma12152489","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2019,8,7]],"date-time":"2019-08-07T03:09:08Z","timestamp":1565147348000},"page":"2489","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":32,"title":["Efficacy of Bacterial Cellulose as a Carrier of BMP-2 for Bone Regeneration in a Rabbit Frontal Sinus Model"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"12","author":[{"given":"Takashi","family":"Koike","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery, Shimane University Faculty of Medicine, 89-1 Enya-Cho, Izumo, Shimane 693-8501, Japan"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Jingjing","family":"Sha","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery, Shimane University Faculty of Medicine, 89-1 Enya-Cho, Izumo, Shimane 693-8501, Japan"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-6087-2095","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Yunpeng","family":"Bai","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery, Shimane University Faculty of Medicine, 89-1 Enya-Cho, Izumo, Shimane 693-8501, Japan"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-8922-3582","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Yuhei","family":"Matsuda","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery, Shimane University Faculty of Medicine, 89-1 Enya-Cho, Izumo, Shimane 693-8501, Japan"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Katsumi","family":"Hideshima","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery, Shimane University Faculty of Medicine, 89-1 Enya-Cho, Izumo, Shimane 693-8501, Japan"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Takaya","family":"Yamada","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Depart of Experimental Animals, Interdisciplinary Center for Science Research, Organization for Research, Shimane University, Izumo, Shimane 693-8501, Japan"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Takahiro","family":"Kanno","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery, Shimane University Faculty of Medicine, 89-1 Enya-Cho, Izumo, Shimane 693-8501, Japan"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2019,8,6]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"150","DOI":"10.5794\/jjoms.56.150","article-title":"Maxillary sinus floor elevation: lateral approach and alveolar crest approach","volume":"56","author":"Sugai","year":"2010","journal-title":"Jpn.
