RevBio Receives FDA Approval to Conduct its Second U.S.-Based Clinical Trial for Dental Implant Stabilization
1.8.2023 20:28:00 EEST | Business Wire | Press release
RevBio, Inc., announced that it has received approval from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration to start a 20-patient clinical trial to examine the safety and efficacy of a more rapidly replaced, pH modified porous formulation of the company’s bone adhesive biomaterial called Tetranite® to immediately stabilize dental implants following tooth extractions. This new formulation has shown evidence of a more biologically active bone substitution. While not osteoinductive, this patent-pending version of Tetranite has shown characteristics which may be described as “osteopromotive.”

On the left, the original Tetranite formulation shows very little substitution with new bone and appears white, which indicates the presence of the biomaterial. On the right, the more osteopromotive formulation shows significant bone in-growth with the red and pink areas indicating new bone substituting the Tetranite biomaterial. (Photo: Business Wire)
The clinical trial will be conducted by Paul A. Fugazzotto, DDS, a world-renowned periodontist based in Massachusetts, who has over 30 years of experience placing dental implants, and Kanyon Keeney, DDS, an oral and maxillofacial surgeon based in Virginia whose clinical practice focuses exclusively on dental implant surgery. “This product is truly transformational,” said Dr. Fugazzotto. “Tetranite will revolutionize how implant dentistry will be performed. The adhesive properties and handling characteristics of this material are incomparable to any product on the market.”
Teeth are extracted due to damage from traumatic injuries, tooth decay, or gum disease. The current standard of care consists of multiple staged surgical procedures to restore a patient’s dentition with prosthetic crowns supported by dental implants. Frequently, extraction sites are too large for dental implants to achieve primary stability through conventional mechanical engagement. Instead, patients must undergo a costly, complex, and lengthy process including a preliminary bone grafting surgery before receiving a dental implant. Based on company surveys, each year in the U.S. approximately 2.1 million implants are eventually placed into initially unstable tooth extraction sites that first must receive a bone graft. The use of Tetranite to stabilize an unstable implant will allow for the immediate placement of dental implants which otherwise could not be placed until the initial bone graft has healed to form new bone. As a result, the Tetranite® biomaterial will help reduce the duration and complexity of these dental implant procedures, lessen patient pain and recovery time, and reduce the overall cost of care thereby providing greater patient access for the treatment of tooth loss.
“We are truly excited to conduct this study with both Dr. Fugazzotto, who will initiate this study enrolling the first cases, along with Dr. Keeney,” said Alan Pollack, RevBio’s Senior Director of Dental Clinical Operations. “The improvements we have made to the technology have accelerated both the bone substitution profile and the product’s adhesive strength. Having also just recently received IRB approval, we look forward to enrolling our first patients in the coming weeks.”

IQM Demonstrates Entanglement Across a Complete 54-Qubit Processor, Bringing Full-Chip Performance to Cloud Users29.10.2026 09:00:00 EET | Press release
IQM Quantum Computers (Nasdaq: IQMX), a global leader in superconducting quantum computers, today announced that its cloud-accessible IQM Emerald system has fully entangled all 54 qubits on the chip simultaneously, a result that shows the system’s computational quality holds up when every qubit is put to work at once. IQM’s cloud customers now have access to that same full-chip performance, so their computations can draw on the entire processor rather than a fraction of it. This press release features multimedia. View the full release here: https://www.businesswire.com/news/home/20261029191153/en/ IQM measured a fidelity of 0.515 at 40 qubits without readout error mitigation (REM) and 0.516 at the full 54 qubits with REM applied, both above the classical threshold of 0.500 that separates genuine entanglement from noise. These results rank among the strongest reported for any commercially available quantum computer, giving customers access to state-of-the-art, high-quality processors. U
Takeda Announces FY2026 First-Half Results Highlighting Launch Momentum and Pipeline Milestones29.10.2026 08:36:00 EET | Press release
Takeda (TOKYO:4502/NYSE:TAK) announced financial results for the first half of fiscal year 2026 (April 1, 2026, to Sept. 30, 2026). The period included the approval of ORZEYFUL (oveporexton) in the U.S., Japan and China, the U.S. launch of MIMRYLO (rusfertide), progress in the regulatory review of zasocitinib, and additional clinical evidence across the late-stage pipeline.
