RevBio Receives FDA Approval to Conduct its Second U.S.-Based Clinical Trial for Dental Implant Stabilization

Share

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.”

Esri Launches Online GIS Course for Climate Action28.9.2023 23:01:00 EEST | Press release

As the impacts of climate change increase and intensify around the world, one aspect that has become clear is the geographic nature of the issue. The ability to tackle such a wide-reaching geographic challenge requires technology that gives context, which location intelligence provides. To support the individuals working toward this goal, Esri, the global leader in geographic information system (GIS) technology, today announced it will offer a new massive open online course (MOOC) exploring the application of its software to address climate change impacts. The complimentary course will be available this fall for six weeks on the Esri Academy website and includes full access to ArcGIS Pro, ArcGIS Network Analyst, ArcGIS Online, and other ArcGIS software that uses science-based tools and authoritative data. GIS for Climate Action opens on October 25 and provides a comprehensive introduction to how GIS software is used to ingest, map, visualize, analyze, and share massive amounts of data.
