Abstract
The study investigated the effect of recombinant human osteogenic protein-1 (rhOP-1) expressed in prokaryocyte, to promote the healing of alveolar socket. A model of rabbit extracted socket into which the composites of rhOP-1 and gelatin sponge was immediately implanted was created and the osteoinduction of rhOP-1 was assessed by histological method, quantitative measurement of calcium content and alkaline phosphatase (ALP) activity. The result of histology showed that bone healing in rhOP-1 side is 4-6 weeks earlier than that of the control side. ALP activity and calcium content in rhOP-1 side were significantly high compared with that of the control side. rhOP-1 has a satisfactory osteoinduction ability to promote the healing of extracted socket.
