Evaluation of Bone Resorptive Potential In the Treatment of Generalized Periodontitis

Abstract

The aim: Is to study dynamics of resorptive potential of bone tissue by indicators of protease and antiprotease systems in the process of treatment generalized periodontitis in patients with age-related osteoporosis and without osteoporotic changes in the skeleton. Materials and methods: In 102 patients, before the start of treatment of generalized periodontitis and in 2, 4 and 12 weeks, the concentration of pro-resorbing matrix metalloproteinases: stromelysin (MMP-3), collagenase (MMP-8) and gelatinase (MMP-9) were determined in blood plasma and mixed oral fluid. The antiresorbtive potential of bone tissue was evaluated by the concentration of a tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinases (TIMP-1) in plasma. The general antiprotease activity was determined by the activity of α1-antitrypsin (α1-AT) and α2-macroglobulin (α2-MG). Results: The most significant changes are recorded for the content of MMP-9 in blood and oral fluid, regardless of the presence of systemic disorders of bone metabolism (P < 0.05). Concentration of MMP-8 is significantly increased in blood plasma and oral fluid in accordance with the severity of the disease and in the course of treatment (P <0.05). The observed increase in the ratio of MMP-8 to TIMP-1 and MMP-9 to TIMP-1 in patients with generalized periodontitis, complicated by systemic osteoporosis (P < 0.05), indicates an imbalance of the protease-antiprotease system. Conclusions: The resorptive potential of bone tissue in patients with generalized periodontitis allows us to correctly choose treatment tactics and to prevent the development of complications.

Comparative Evaluation of Histotoxicity Indicators of Metal Alloys for the Manufacture of Metal Ceramic Dental Constructions

“…The histological picture appears, which is significantly different from the previous three. During the study of the capsule two weeks after the start of the experiment, a sharp fiber growth of the inner layer formed by connective tissue fibers of varying degrees of maturity is determined [11,13,14]. In places of compact arrangement of fibrous structures, foci of their destruction are revealed with the subsequent formation of cavities.…”

Research on the Association Between Periodontitis and COPD

“…38 A series of studies since then have also indicated that the AAT and neutrophil elastase imbalance is also associated with periodontitis. [38][39][40] MMPs were also shown to be correlated with periodontal destruction, as in COPD. 41 Oxidative stress acts as another shared feature of COPD and periodontitis, and is believed to be the important pathological process in COPD and periodontitis.…”
