Bone morphogenic protein-2 (BMP-2) has been coated on a hydroxyapatite (HA)-coated titanium surface. Successful incorporation is confirmed by immunofluorescence image (left). When applied anti-BMP-2 antibody with green fluorescence, BMP-2 coated plate showed high signal intensity. However, the same kind of plate without application of anti-BMP-2 antibody showed low signal intensity. BMP-2, collagen, and HA combination-coated dental implant shows better peri-implant bone formation compared to the uncoated dental implant (right)
