RevBio is Awarded a $2 Million Grant to Advance the Development of its Novel Dental Adhesive Bone Scaffold Product
8.6.2023 00:12:00 EEST | Business Wire | Press release
RevBio, Inc., announced that it has been awarded a $2 million Phase II Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) grant from the National Institute of Dental and Craniofacial Research (NIDCR), part of the National Institutes of Health (NIH). This funding (1R44DE032564-01) will allow the company to complete the pre-clinical research necessary to advance this product into the clinical stage of development.

The current standard of care options for rebuilding deficient jawbone includes a variety of materials that require membranes and time consuming fixation devices. These products do not predictably maintain ridge volume which requires surgeons to undergo re-grafting in over 30% of clinical cases. TETRANITE eliminates the use of membranes and other fixation devices, when compared to the standard of care. Furthermore, TETRANITE resorbs fully while maintaining predictable ridge volume throughout the bone regeneration process. (Graphic: Business Wire)
“We have optimized the TETRANITE bone adhesive technology to accelerate the substitution of the biomaterial with new bone through key engineering and manufacturing innovations which significantly increase the porosity of the material,” said Rahul Jadia, PhD, RevBio’s R&D Manager of Technology Development, who has led the development of this novel adhesive bone scaffold product. “This grant will allow the company to conduct a pivotal animal study necessary to demonstrate safety and efficacy of the product and to file an Investigational Device Exemption (IDE) application with the FDA next year to start a clinical trial.”
Research shows that 44% of all patients who receive a dental implant have a missing tooth when they start treatment with varying degrees of bone loss depending on how long the tooth had been missing. These patients must undergo a ridge augmentation procedure in which various bone graft materials are placed using additional fixation and containment devices to protect the graft during the healing process. These procedures increase the width and height of the residual jawbone to replace atrophied bone so that a dental implant can be successfully placed. In over 30% of these cases, however, existing bone graft materials fail to achieve the desired clinical results, and another bone graft procedure must be conducted, increasing the overall time and cost of treatment. This product compliments RevBio’s existing clinical program to treat the larger population of patients who need an immediate dental implant following tooth extraction.
This grant significantly enhances prior funding awarded to RevBio by the Michigan-Pittsburgh-Wyss Regenerative Medicine Resource Center which is a research consortium funded by the National Institute of Dental and Cranial Research (U24-DE029462) to improve the translation of promising tissue engineering and regenerative medicine technologies for dental, oral, and craniofacial clinical practice.
“This enhanced adhesive formulation of TETRANITE resorbs and is replaced by bone on a timescale similar to existing graft materials but, unlike those existing materials, it does not require ancillary containment devices like membranes or meshes or fixation aids like tacks and screws,” said Joseph P. Fiorellini, DMD, DMSc, Professor at the University of Pennsylvania School of Dental Medicine and Chair of RevBio’s Dental Scientific Advisory Board. “The clinical use of this material will reduce the time and complexity of ridge augmentation procedures and likely lead to more consistent results with better volume maintenance of these grafts.”

Vertex Energy Announces 6,000 bpd Group III Base Oil Expansion Project24.6.2026 17:00:00 EEST | Press release
Vertex Energy, Inc. (“Vertex” or the “Company”) today announced it is advancing a project at its Mobile, Alabama refinery to produce crude-derived conventional Group III base oils through the Company’s existing hydrocracker and related processing infrastructure, providing lubricant manufacturers and blenders with an additional domestic source of high-quality Group III supply. The project is designed to add an incremental 6,000 barrels per day of conventional Group III production capacity and support production of 4 cSt, 6 cSt, and 8 cSt Group III base oils using an existing crude-derived hydrocracked vacuum gas oil stream produced at the Company’s Mobile, Alabama refinery. Combined with the Company’s existing re-refined Group III base oil production, this additional capacity is expected to make Vertex the leading Group III producer in North America. Vertex has completed preliminary design work and has procured a high-pressure lubricants hydrotreating unit. The Company plans to start pr

New MetLife Study Reveals a 72% “Confidence Gap” in Ability to Recover from Life's Setbacks24.6.2026 16:25:00 EEST | Press release
A new multinational study from MetLife reveals a striking “confidence gap”: while most adults describe themselves as resilient, their confidence drops by 72% when faced with real-life setbacks. The Confident Pathways Report, conducted across the United States, United Kingdom, Japan, and Mexico, was designed to better understand how confidence is built and sustained throughout life. The findings underscore the role of opportunity, preparedness, and support in building confidence - factors that help people navigate uncertainty, recover from setbacks and pursue their goals. At a time when soccer is bringing people and communities together around the world, the findings also highlight how early childhood experiences such as sports, education, and mentorship can help foster resilience and gain confidence from a young age. Key findings across the four countries surveyed include: Confidence drops by 72% when adults consider their ability to recover from setbacks. Respondents were far more lik
