Understanding How PTH Builds Bones
Research being conducted in the laboratory of Dr. Laurie McCauley, chair of the Department of Periodontics and Oral Medicine, has shown that PTH, known clinically as teriparatide, is effective in building bone in humans with periodontal defects. A new paper highlighted in this video abstract discusses experiments led by DDS/PhD student Chad Novince aimed at understanding the underlying mechanisms of how PTH builds bone. Novince finished his DDS/PhD at U-M last summer and is now in a periodontics residency program at the University of Washington in Seattle.
