description | Introduction: Fixed and/or removable prosthodontics caters to
the restorative needs of the largest count of geriatric patients
whose rehabilitative procedures depend on the quality and
quantity of available bone. The common diagnostic parameters
for quantifying bone may involve an invasive blood examination,
an expensive bone densitometry procedure or a urine analysis.
Sialometry involving the basic biochemistry of saliva analysis may
be proposed as an alternative to the conventional investigative
protocol and its usefulness may be attributed owing to its non
invasive and simpler procedure.
Aim: The aim of this study was to compare the salivary calcium
and alkaline phosphatase among osteoporotic, osteopenic and
normal edentulous subjects.
Materials and Methods: A prospective, comparative and
observational study was carried out on 80 selected edentulous
subjects (40 males and 40 females) aged 55-75 years (30
osteoporotic, 30 osteopenic and 20 control). A sample of saliva
was taken for the study. Salivary calcium was measured by
Arsenazo reaction; and alkaline phosphatase by the International
Federation of Clinical Chemistry (IFCC) method. Statistical
analysis was done by unpaired t-test. A comparison was made
in the levels of salivary calcium and alkaline phosphatase with
that of osteoporosis and osteopenia.
Results: The mean salivary calcium and alkaline phosphatase
levels were found to be significantly higher in the osteoporotic
and osteopenic edentulous subjects as compared to the control
group.
Conclusion: Salivary calcium and alkaline phosphatase are
increased significantly in case of osteoporosis and osteopenia.
Hence, screening of salivary samples of patients may be an
effective indicator for the detection of underlying disorders of
bone metabolism. |
