Biochemical outcomes of BMP-2 release profile
Gingival crevicular fluid BMP-2 levels showed a significant increase in its level throughout the selected evaluation periods in all groups. In G1, there was an increase from a mean of 223.85±7.27 on day 1, to 307.64±16.98 on day 7 and 333.15±31.62 on day 14, reaching the optimum level on day 21 with a mean level of 358.25±40.93. In G2, mean value on day 1 was 227.56±12.08; on day 7, 297.53±45.00; on day 14, 335.00±38.73; and on day 21, 368.00±30.54. In G3, mean level on day 1 was 225.70±7.813; on day 7, 361.94±21.49; on day 14, 385.35±10.17; and increased to 434.00±19.92 on day 21. A significantly higher level of BMP-2 was reported in G3 compared to G1 and G2 (p= 0.036 and p= 0.041), respectively. No significant difference between G1 and G2 was reported (p= 0.996). (
