RevBio partnered with Giuseppe Intini, DDS, PhD, an associate professor of periodontics and preventive dentistry at the University of Pittsburgh School of Dental Medicine, to research how well its bone adhesive Tetranite stimulates stem cells to regenerate bone on Earth and in space. Previous research has shown that stem cells “lock up” in space and cannot aid in tissue regeneration, which scientists believe could be one reason astronauts experience severe bone loss.
Tetranite is not yet available commercially but has performed well in tests, including a previous space project that found the product promoted osteoblastic differentiation.
At the Becker's 5th Annual Future of Dentistry Roundtable, taking place November 12–14 in Chicago, dental leaders and executives will gain insights into emerging technologies, practice growth strategies and the evolving landscape of dental care delivery, with a focus on innovation, patient experience and operational excellence.
