BCP20/80 showed enhanced osteogenic potential in patients undergoing MSFE compared to BCP60/40, due to either a faster bone remodeling rate or an earlier start of bone formation in BCP20/80-treated patients, suggesting that a higher TCP content positively contributes to the bone remodeling rate. Therefore, BCP20/80 might perform better, at least in the short term, as a scaffold for bone augmentation in the MSFE model than BCP60/40 as more bone is formed, and more osteoid is deposited at the cranial side in BCP20/80-treated patients compared to BCP60/40-treated patients. However, catch-up of BCP60/40 in the long term cannot be ruled out.
