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.", publisher = {Pontifícia Universidade Católica do Rio Grande do Sul}, scholl = {Programa de Pós-Graduação em Odontologia}, note = {Escola de Ciências da Saúde} }
