Maxillofacial Surgeon Dr. S.M. Balaji performed the alveolar cleft repair using rhBMP-2 avoiding bone grafting. Miracle protein rhBMP-2 is a bioengineered version of a protein that occurs in the body. When placed in the cleft defect, it stimulates the body’s stem cells to form new bone and thereby healing the bony defect in the teeth bearing region of the upper jaw. By using rhBMP-2, bone graft surgery from the hip or rib is avoided, thereby avoiding an additional surgery & unsightly scars.

By using rhBMP-2, bone graft surgery from the hip or rib is avoided, thereby avoiding an additional surgery & unsightly scars. A 3 year old boy with unilateral cleft lip and palate defect from Bihar was brought to our hospital by his parents for closure of the cleft defect in the teeth bearing region of upper jaw bone. He was previously operated for cleft lip and cleft palate. Due to the cleft defect, upper alveolus was in two parts which will severely affect the development of teeth later. Maxillofacial Surgeon Dr. S. M. Balaji performed the cleft alveolus closure with rhBMP-2 which helps in uniting the two parts into a single jaw bone with new bone formation. This surgery helped for proper growth and development as well as alignment of his teeth later. An 8-year-old boy was brought to our hospital by his parents for surgical correction of his cleft defect. His cleft lip and cleft palate defect was operated by Maxillofacial Surgeon Dr. S.M. Balaji, in his childhood. Dr. Balaji performed the alveolar cleft repair using rhBMP-2 avoiding bone grafting. Miracle protein rhBMP-2 is a bioengineered version of a protein that occurs in the body.

By using rhBMP-2, bone graft surgery from the hip or rib is avoided, thereby avoiding an additional surgery & unsightly scars. A 5-year-old girl from Kerala, born with bilateral cleft lip and palate reported to our hospital seeking specialized correction for her cleft defect in the upper alveolar bone (teeth bearing region of jaw). She was previously operated for cleft lip & cleft palate. Due to the bilateral cleft defect, the child’s upper jaw bone was in 3 parts. Maxillofacial Surgeon Dr. S.M. Balaji employed an advanced technology to close the alveolar cleft. Collagen sponge soaked in miracle protein rhBMP-2 was placed in the cleft site which stimulates the body’s own cells to rapidly form new bone thereby joining the 3 segments into a single complete bone. With this, a second surgery for bone graft and unsightly scarring at the graft site is avoided. Dr. Balaji has successfully used this novel protein in complete reconstruction of several facial bone defects. A 14-year-old boy from Sri Lanka, with unilateral cleft lip and palate, was brought to our hospital by his parents for surgical correction of alveolar cleft (cleft in the teeth-bearing bone of upper jaw). Previously he was operated for cleft lip & cleft palate elsewhere.
Maxillofacial Surgeon Dr. S.M. Balaji performed the surgical correction of the alveolar cleft using the advanced rhBMP-2 (recombinant human Bone Morphogenetic Protein). This miracle protein stimulates the body’s own stem cells to form new bone at the site where it’s placed ultimately healing the bone defect. Following this, normal teeth eruption and teeth alignment can be achieved. The wonder of using this advanced technique is that additional surgery of bone grafting from the rib or hip is avoided and there is no scarring. |
