DOIAbstract
<p>Bone-to-implant contact rate was highest in the BMP group (median 60.7%) 12 weeks after surgery though no significant difference could be found. AAT: Al<sub>2</sub>O<sub>3</sub>-blasted acid etched titanium; ODN: anchor strands of oligonucleotides bound to titanium; BMP-ODN: rhBMP modified with 31-mer Oligonucleotides; VEGF-ODN: rhVEGF modified with 31-mer Oligonucleotides.</p
