Objectives: Assess the diagnostic value of Bone Metabolism Biomarker Osteocalcin for Monitoring Treatment Chronic moderate Periodontitis. Materials and Methods: 84 patients with chronic moderate periodontitis were participated in this study who received periodontal therapy. All patients underwent a thorough clinical and laborator examination including a determination of the serum osteocalcin content, at the beginning of the study and 1, 3 months after therapy. Results: Healing period occurred without complications, and with minimal postoperative discomfort. The mean BOP before treatment was 2.5 ± 0.31, after 1 month treatment the mean BOP 1.7 ± 0.1, after 3 months treatment the mean BOP 1.3 ± 0.12(p>0.05). The probing depth according to the mean value (PD) was 5.27 ± 0.77 mm at the beginning of the study and, respectively, 4.35 ± 0.73 mm 1 month after therapy and 2.82 ± 0.43 (p> 0.05 ) 3 months after therapy. The mean value of clinical attachment level (CAL) at baseline in the study group was 5.84± 0.79 mm, 1 month after therapy it was was 4.92 ±0.71 mm. and 3 month after therapy it was3,4 ±0,7. Therefore, in periodontitis patients; there was a statistically significant decrease in mean CAL post-operatively (at P < 0.001).The mean value of osteocalcin in serum at baseline was 10.58 ng/ml, 1 month after periodontal therapy it was 14.23 ng/ml, 3 month after periodontal therapy it was was 17.74 ng/ml. As a result, there is a statistically significant increase in mean osteocalcin postoperatively (at P < 0.001).The study results showed that elevated serum osteocalcin concentration in patients with chronic periodontitis after periodontal therapy correlates with PPD and CAL, suggesting that its role could be used as a diagnostic test for patient and to complement other diagnostic tests. Conclusions: The results of study showed that a combination treatment with the use of bone graft materials, hyaluronic acid (Gengigel®) and magnetic laser therapy is an effective therapy for the treatment of periodontal disease.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
