RevBio Receives Approval to Start a Dental Clinical Trial in Italy for its Regenerative Biomaterial
18.1.2023 21:08:00 EET | Business Wire | Press release
RevBio, Inc., announced that it has received approval from the Italian Ministry of Health and the Ethics Committee of the University “G.D'Annunzio” of Chieti-Pescara to start a 15-patient pilot clinical trial. The primary objective of this study will be to assess the time it takes for Tetranite®, the company’s adhesive biomaterial, to regenerate bone in the mandibular and maxillary dental arches.

Prior studies have demonstrated that TETRANITE® is replaced with bone via substitution as it dissolves, stimulating osteoblast cells to produce osteoid (bone precursor) which is then mineralized during the process of bone maturation. (Graphic: Business Wire)
This study will be conducted at the Center for Advanced Studies and Technology (“CAST”) of the University “G.d’Annunzio” Chieti-Pescara under the leadership of Professor Sergio Caputi, MD, DDS, who serves as the Chancellor/Provost of the University. The research team also includes Professor Maurizio Piattelli, MD, DDS, Tonino Traini, DDS, PhD, Bruna Sinjari, DDS, PhD, Gianmaria D’Addazio, DDS, PhD, and Manlio Santilli, DDS, PhD Student. This team is part of the Department of Innovative Technologies in Medicine and Dentistry where novel and cutting-edge research in dentistry is conducted.
“We are very pleased to see this study come together after much planning during the COVID-19 pandemic,” said Dr. Sinjari. “We have assembled a great research team which will be able to assess the unique osteoconductive properties of this biomaterial.”
Currently there are no products approved in Europe or the United States that are adhesive to bone and capable of bonding dental implants into place while gradually resorbing and being replaced by new, native bone. These properties have been demonstrated in prior studies, but the focus of this study will be to assess the timescale when the material is resorbed by the human body, which will help determine the length of future clinical trials necessary for obtaining commercial approval.
Dr. Paul Fugazzotto, DDS, an advisor to RevBio, and a noted lecturer, dental educator, and periodontist, introduced the company to the research team at the University of Chieti. “The design of this study will answer some important questions that will help evidence the key advantages of this biomaterial,” said Dr. Fugazzotto. “I believe this technology will be transformative in the way we place dental implants.”

Alsym Energy Announces Na-Series Battery Success Developed With Physics-Informed AI Platform27.4.2026 22:25:00 EEST | Press release
Alsym Energy, a pioneer in non-flammable, high-performance sodium-ion batteries, today announced details of the proprietary physics-informed AI platform used to develop the company’s recently launched Na-Series sodium-ion batteries. By integrating fundamental physics models with AI, autonomous testing and proprietary molecular diagnostics in a closed-loop system, Alsym is accelerating the design of safer, inexpensive, commercialized batteries through all phases of the development cycle. As global demand for electricity surges, the limitations of lithium-ion batteries have become increasingly apparent, particularly around safety and supply chain constraints. Lithium-ion chemistry presents inherent challenges, including flammability and reliance on constrained global supply chains—issues that become more acute in large-scale energy storage, where higher energy densities considerably increase fire risks, and growing demand across sectors further strains the supply chain and imperils energ
