BONE LOSS

This study compares two ways to place dental implants in people with bone loss. One method places the implant at the gum line, the other deeper in the bone. Researchers will track bone levels, implant survival, and pain for up to 3 years in 80 adults aged 18-75.

This study tests whether a collagen-based bone graft material (Bio-Oss Collagen) can help grow bone in the upper jaw for people who need a dental implant but have too little bone. About 36 adults with missing teeth and low bone height will receive the graft during implant surgery…

This study looks at 100 people who spent at least 7 days in the ICU and had kidney injury. Researchers will measure kidney function, muscle loss, and bone health using special tests. The goal is to better understand long-term effects, not to test a new treatment.

This lab study compares how two materials—Platelet Rich Fibrin (PRF) and a commercial product (GEM21S)—release a key growth factor (PDGF-BB) that helps bone heal. Researchers will test these materials with and without bone graft material to find the best combination for future tr…

This study followed over 12,500 non-pregnant women in Southampton, UK, and then tracked about 3,000 of their children from before birth through age 19. Researchers are looking at how factors like diet and lifestyle before and during pregnancy influence child development, obesity,…

This study looks at whether two types of hormonal birth control pills (LF111 and drospirenone) affect bone density in women aged 14 to 45. About 1,500 participants will have their bone density measured after 12 months and compared to women using non-hormonal birth control. The go…

This study looks at how CFTR modulators, a type of cystic fibrosis treatment, affect bone strength and muscle mass in adults with CF. Researchers will measure changes in bone density and lean body mass over 12 to 24 months. The goal is to understand whether these treatments help …
