This study tests a surgical approach for medication-related osteonecrosis of the jaw (MRONJ), a condition where jaw bone dies after certain drugs. Surgeons use a special ultrasonic device (piezosurgery) to remove dead bone, then close the area with a double-layer flap. Twenty pat…

This phase 3 trial tests whether a combination of pentoxifylline (a muscle pain drug) and vitamin E can help heal jaw bone damage caused by osteoporosis or cancer treatments. About 100 people with medication-related jaw bone death will receive either the drug combo plus standard …

This study tested whether adding injectable Platelet-Rich Fibrin (i-PRF), a natural concentrate from a patient's own blood, to standard deep cleaning improves gum disease outcomes. In 13 adults with moderate to severe periodontitis, one side of the mouth received the combined tre…

This study looks at whether using 3 screws instead of 4 to attach a full lower-jaw dental bridge affects bone loss around the implants. Fourteen men with no teeth in their lower jaw and no major health issues are being followed with X-rays over time. The goal is to see if fewer s…
