Evaluation of Non-Surgical Periodontal Treatment on Salivary Biomarkers in Patients Undergoing Bisphosphonate Therapy

Abstract

Objectives: Similar mechanisms and risk factors are considered to involve in the progression of osteoporosis and periodontitis. Bisphosphonates present anti-inflammatory activity and inhibit the release of proinflammator cytokines. Therefore their use as an adjunct to non-surgical periodontal treatment has been introduced. This study aimed to evaluate the effect of non-surgical periodontal treatment and medical treatment of osteoporosis by bisphosphonates on the clinical outcomes and salivary levels of interleukine- 1 beta (IL-1β) , interleukine-17, (IL-17) and 8-Hydroxy-deoxyguanosine (8-OHdG). Materials and Methods: 25 postmenopausal women with periodontitis and osteoporosis (group 1), 25 systemically healthy patients with periodontitis (group 2) and 25 systemically and periodontally healthy individuals (group 3) were enrolled in this study. In the group 1, patients who used systemic alendronate once weekly (70 mg) for at least 3 months, were included. Clinical parameters (plaque index, gingival index, bleeding on probing, probing depth and clinical attachment loss) and saliva samples were analyzed at baseline, 1 month and 3 months after non-surgical therapy. Results: All clinical parameters were significantly higher in osteoporotic patients than in the systemically healthy group (p<0.05). Clinical parameters were significantly reduced at 1 and 3 months as compared to the baseline after the periodontal treatment for group 1 and 2 (p<0.05). The mean IL-1β, IL-17 and 8-OHdG levels were significantly higher in groups 1 and 2 compared to group 3 (p<0.001). 1- and 3-month evaluations revealed significant reductions in IL-1β, IL-17 and 8- OHdG compared to the baseline values in both group 1 and group 2 (p<0.05). Significantly higher 8-OHdG levels were noted in group 1 compared to group 2 at baseline. There was no significant difference in terms of clinical parameters and biomarkers between group 1 and 2 after periodontal therapy. Conclusions: Patients on BPs therapy seemed to be affected similarly by the initial periodontal treatment with regard to periodontal parameters and salivary biomarkers. Osteoporosis may play a role in periodontitis progression and lead to additional oxidative stress in periodontal tissues. Reductions in oxidative stress, inflammatory marker levels and clinical parameters following therapy demonstrate that non-surgical periodontal treatment is of utmost importance in osteoporosis patients. However bisphosphonates may not have a significant effect on clinical parameters in short term.
