Summary
Good bone healing and bone build-up are necessary for the success of dental implants.
Research in animals and humans has shown that a drug, called Forteo, can increase bone
build-up and bone strength over time. Forteo has been approved by the Food and Drug
Administration (FDA) for use in patients with a condition where bone is broken down and
weakened, called osteoporosis. The investigators do not know, however, whether Forteo is
effective for use in humans for improving bone healing after implant placement, and whether
it will have the same bone-building and bone-strengthening effects as for patients with
osteoporosis. This research study is being done to learn what effect 7 weeks of treatment
with Forteo will have on bone build-up and strengthening of bone for patients receiving
implants.
Clinical Details
Official title: The Impact of Parathyroid Hormone (PTH) on Craniofacial Osseous Regeneration in Bone
Study design: Allocation: Randomized, Endpoint Classification: Efficacy Study, Intervention Model: Parallel Assignment, Masking: Double Blind (Subject, Caregiver, Investigator, Outcomes Assessor), Primary Purpose: Treatment
Primary outcome: Bone formation rate
Secondary outcome: bone turnover
Detailed description:
A single center, placebo-controlled, double blind parallel study of teriparatide use in
patients requiring dental implant therapy is planned. Subjects who qualify based on the
inclusion/exclusion criteria will be randomly placed into one of two treatment groups,
teriparatide (20 μg/day) or placebo control. Both patients and investigators will be
blinded. Serum and gingival crevicular fluid (GCF) samples, radiographs, and a
tetracycline-labelled bone core will constitute the main data gathered for analysis. After
implant surgery, patients will return at 2 weeks for post-operative care and then at 14
weeks for an implant impression and again at 16 weeks to receive the final restoration.
Twelve months after implant placement, patients will be seen for a follow-up exam and
standardized radiograph to ensure proper healing.
Eligibility
Minimum age: 30 Years.
Maximum age: 85 Years.
Gender(s): Both.
Criteria:
Inclusion Criteria:
- Age range 30-85 yrs
- Sex: male and female (female subjects must be postmenopausal, surgically sterilized
or utilizing birth control or abstinence throughout the period of Teriparatide
administration)
- Subjects must be able and willing to follow study procedures and instructions;
- Subjects must have read, understood and signed an informed consent form;
- Subjects must have a need for the replacement of at least one tooth in the mandibular
premolar/molar region with at least 12 months since the tooth extraction.
- Sites must be adaptable for dental implant placement without the necessity for
grafting.
Exclusion Criteria:
- Subjects under 30 years or over 85 years of age,
- Female subjects who are pregnant, lactating, or female subjects who are of
childbearing potential who are not using contraceptives,
- Subjects with metabolic bone diseases such as Paget's disease, hypercalcemia (mild to
moderate hypocalcemia is acceptable for entry into the study), moderate to severe
vitamin D3 abnormalities (If vitamin D levels are below 16 ng/ml and patient exhibits
interest, dietary supplementation will be suggested and levels re-evaluated after 4
weeks and reconsidered for inclusion at that time), any other metabolic bone diseases
including osteoporosis,
- Subjects with prior radiation therapy, bone metastases or other skeletal malignancy,
- Subjects on medications that would affect bone metabolism,
- Subjects with growth hormone deficiency,
- Subjects with uncontrolled diabetes, sprue, inflammatory bowel disease or other
disorders that would affect calcium absorption
- Subjects that are heavy smokers (> 1 pack/d),
- Subjects with tetracycline sensitivity or allergy,
- Subjects on bisphosphonates,
- Subjects with any form of kidney disease including kidney stones (urolithiasis and
nephrolithiasis),
- Subjects with known allergies to tetracycline and/or demeclocycline,
