In the previous comment, the one I replied to, it says the drug is administered intravenously. I thought, like you did, it would be some sort of gel or cream or injection into an old tooth socket or something like that. However, it seems that the drug is administered intravenously and works systemically.
I find this all very fascinating
Yeah, so what if you're like me and you've had a tooth pulled and replaced with an implant? There's a titanium drywall anchor embedded in my skull with a fake tooth bolted to it. What happens if I take this drug? Does it push the bone graft out?
Yeah, I’m in the same boat with a couple of teeth. I really wanna know what would happen in that case, lol.
Perhaps they would have to remove any dental implants before proceeding with the therapy.
