Abstract

Bone formation is the key for successful dental treatments including periodontal tissue regeneration osseointegration of implant placement in which new alveolar bone formation is mandatory. Parathyroid hormone (PTH) is a peptide hormone containing 84 amino acids. Accumulated results show that intermittent PTH administration increases bone mass. Accordingly, recombinant N-terminal fragment of human PTH (1-34) , Teriparatide, is used for the treatments of osteoporosis worldwide. It is, therefore, expected that PTH has the potential to be a new therapeutic intervention for oral diseases that require increased bone remodeling and new bone formation.
