Bone resorption disease

This trial compares two ways to replace missing teeth in people with jawbone loss: using short implants or standard implants with a bone regeneration procedure. Twenty participants are randomly assigned to one of the two treatments. The study measures bone level changes around th…

This study compares two types of dental implant connections — internal hexagon and conical — to see which one leads to better bone preservation, fewer complications, and healthier gums. Twenty adults needing two implant-supported crowns will receive one of each connection type, a…

This study tested whether adding bone graft fibers instead of particles to a standard bone substitute leads to more new bone growth in the upper jaw. Twenty-six adults needing sinus augmentation before dental implants received both types of graft material. Researchers measured bo…

This study tested whether a collagen-based material placed into fresh tooth sockets after extraction can reduce bone shrinkage. Forty adults with multiple teeth removed received the material and later dental implants. The goal was to see if the treatment preserves jawbone shape a…

This study tested whether taking a probiotic called Lactobacillus acidophilus can help prevent bone loss and osteoporosis in women after menopause. 90 women aged 45-70 with a BMI between 27 and 35 took either the probiotic or a placebo. Researchers measured calcium levels and bon…

This study followed 39 people who needed a tooth pulled and replaced with a dental implant. After extraction, the socket was filled with a bone graft material called Bio-Oss Collagen. Researchers then placed implants at 3, 6, or 9 months later to see how the bone healed over time…

This study compares two surgical techniques used to rebuild the jawbone so dental implants can be placed. The Split Box Technique and the Split Bone Block Technique both aim to increase bone width. Researchers looked back at records of 31 patients treated at a university dental c…

This study looked at how healthy adults' bodies handle calcium from drinking water. 41 participants drank low-calcium water first, then high-calcium water, and researchers measured changes in blood and urine calcium and parathyroid hormone levels after 2.5 hours. The goal was to …

This study tested whether taking calcium before exercise can help bones get stronger from workouts. Exercise normally causes a drop in blood calcium, which may limit bone benefits. Researchers gave 18 Veterans calcium or a placebo before exercise to see if it improved bone-buildi…
