We conducted an open-label randomized controlled feasibility study and included 24 individuals with edentulous lower jaws.
They were randomly assigned to receive either 20 µg of teriparatide once daily for 28 days or no treatment.
Study implants were retrieved from 23 participants after 9 weeks and were subjected to histomorphometric analyses.
