Abstract
Levels of bone turnover markers (BTM) can be measured using saliva. The aim of the present study was to determine the Biological Variability of BTM in young subjects, on serial biological salivary samples. Saliva samples of 20 apparently healthy young subjects (9 females and 11 males) have been analyzed. Samples collected using salivette with cotton swabs were obtained three times every 15 days. PTHrP; TRAcP-5b and P1NP have been assayed. The ANOVA test was used to calculate intra and interindividual variance (CVI and CVG). The individuality index (II) and reference change value (RCV) were evaluated for the clinically significant variation between two results in the same individual. CVI was highest for PTHrP and lowest for P1NP while CVG was highest for TRAcP-5b. RCV was maximum for PTHrP and minimum for P1NP. The critical difference (RCV) is of particular interest in evaluating variations in the concentrations of BMT on the salivary matrix during oral pathologies and/or dental treatments The salivary dosage of BMT during dental treatments could be fundamental to establishing establish the timing of the treatment and, in the case of orthodontic treatments, to evaluate the effectiveness of the applied forces.File | Dimensione | Formato | |
