Abstract

The aim of the present project was to promote the development of products aimed at the huge market of Brazilians with missing teeth and/or localized bone loss. The second generation of this product should replace, with advantages, previously available products. Its goal was the fast production of a variation of the system of implants with innovative characteristics and the production of substances for bone regeneration - reabsorbable membrane and inorganic bovine bone -, as well as amelogenin, a product with cemental regeneration capacity, and bone morphogenetic protein (BMPs).
