A clinical evaluation of two commercially available
pacifiers:
An electromyographic study
Study purpose: Loma Linda University School
of Dentistry is currently
recruiting approximately 15 mothers and their babies (3-6 months old)
to evaluate two pacifier designs and their nursing pattern activity.
Study Duration: The one-time study should last no more than 30-45
minutes.
Study Criteria: To qualify, the baby should be nursing as well as
using a pacifier (bring pacifier to appointment) and be between 3-6 months
old. Both mother and child must be present when the study is conducted.
If you think you qualify, please contact Alisa for more information between
8:00 a.m. and 4:00 p.m., Monday through Thursday at
(909) 558-1000, extension 8-3542, (909) 558-4623 or (909) 558-0656.
A clinical trial to evaluate two dental implant techniques
Study purpose: Loma Linda University School of Dentistry is currently
recruiting approximately 35 adult patients for a dental research study
designed to evaluate if using a different surgical and crown technique
with the implant system is better than the traditional technique.
Study duration: After placement of the dental implant(s) and crown(s)
there will be a follow-up period of approximately 3 years.
Study criteria: We are looking for individuals who need dental
implants in the lower and/or upper jaw. A maximum of 3 implants and crowns
will be used for the study.
If you qualify, as an incentive for your participation in this study,
you will receive a reduction in the fee of $400 per implant (the regular
fee is $1,600 and the reduced fee is $1,200). This fee is for the implant
and crown, but does not include other procedures that may be deemed necessary.
If you are missing 1, 2 or 3 teeth and are interested in filling that
space with an implant to which a crown(s) will be attached you can call
Alisa for more information between 8:00 a.m.–4:00 p.m. Monday through
Thursday at (909) 558-1000, extension 83542, or (909) 558-0656.
