Utilização do hormônio de crescimento humano (GH) em procedimentos de preservação óssea alveolar pós-exodontia

Abstract

Recombinant Human Growth Hormone (RhGh) has been studied in cases of dental implants, TMJ pathologies and bone fractures. It is able to stimulate bone growth in a dose-dependent manner by direct stimulation of chondrocytes. It stimulates proliferation and differentiation of chondroprogenitor cells, also acts directly on osteoblasts, increasing rates of remodeling and bone formation. In this review of the literature and case report, RhGh will be used in alveolar ridge preservation procedures, with the purpose of evaluating the benefits of this technique in maintaining the postextraction bone site viable, aiming a future rehabilitation with dental implants and prostheses.
