Relation of bone turnover markers to periodontal disease and jaw bone morphology in elderly Japanese subjects

Abstract

In conclusion, this study suggests that there is a significant relation of bone turnover markers to periodontal disease and jaw bone morphology in elderly Japanese subjects.

Systemic Biomarkers for Periodontitis

“…In a cross-sectional study of 148 elderly Japanese, Yoshihara et al showed that serum OC level was negatively associated with the percentage of sites with CAL loss of 6 mm or more, suggesting that serum OC may be a useful systemic biomarker for diagnosis of periodontal disease in this population [47]. Ozcaka et al however, failed to find significant association between OC and periodontal status in a Turkish population [36].…”

Relationships Among Renal Function, Bone Turnover and Periodontal Disease

“…Differences in the distribution of bone turnover markers according to the percentage of sites with 6+ mm CAL per person are shown in Table 1. S-OC was significantly lower in the third tertile than in the first and second tertiles after adjusting for smoking habit (males: p = 0.007, females: p = 0.042, ANCOVA) (Yoshihara et al, 2009). …”

Plasma Levels of C-Telopeptide Pyridinoline Cross-Links of Type I Collagen and Osteocalcin in Chronic Periodontitis

“…Bone formation and resorption are coupled events that are necessary to maintain the bone homeostasis. Changes in circulating levels of bone turnover markers have been reported in regards with periodontitis patients [2,3].…”
