BONE LOSS

This study is testing custom-made, 3D-printed hip implants for 15 adults whose previous hip treatments failed and who have severe bone loss. The implants are designed from CT scans to fit each person's unique bone damage. Researchers will track complications, pain, mobility, and …

This study tests whether a monthly pill called risedronate can reduce bone and muscle loss that often happens after weight-loss surgery. About 200 people who have had sleeve gastrectomy will take either the drug or a placebo for 6 months and be followed for a year. The goal is to…

This study looks at how well a full set of dental implants (All-on-X) works for people with bone loss in the upper jaw. Researchers used special stackable guides to place the implants and checked how many implants survived over 2 years. The goal is to see if this method is reliab…

This study looks at how different types of dental implant attachments affect bone loss around the implant over one year. Sixty adults with missing back teeth will receive one of three implant setups. The goal is to find which method keeps the bone healthiest.

This study tests whether adding a growth factor (rhPDGF) to a standard bone graft helps rebuild the jawbone better than using saline alone. About 44 adults who need dental implants but have too little bone will receive one of the two treatments. The main goal is to measure how mu…

This study tests whether combining exercise, a bone-strengthening drug (alendronate), and a calorie-restricted diet can prevent bone loss in older adults who are overweight or have low bone mass. About 900 participants will be followed for up to two years. The goal is to find saf…

This study looks at how well implant-supported dentures work for people with bone loss in the lower jaw. Researchers will place four implants using a computer-guided surgery method and check the implants' survival, gum health, and bone levels over three years. The study involves …

This study tests a new, less invasive way to rebuild bone in the upper jaw near the sinus, so people can get dental implants. The surgery uses a tiny cut between the teeth to lift the sinus lining and add bone graft material. The goal is to reduce pain and recovery time while sti…

This study compares two types of bone scanners (HR-pQCT and pQCT) to see how well they measure bone and muscle loss in people with conditions like osteoporosis, arthritis, and kidney disease. The goal is to improve fracture risk prediction beyond current methods. Researchers will…

This study looks at whether taking a daily supplement of lutein, zeaxanthin, and fish oil for six months can improve thinking skills, eye health, and bone density in healthy adults. Researchers will compare people who take the supplement to those who take a placebo. The goal is t…
