Abstract
Background: Salivary biomarkers are extensively studied in various fields of dentistry. Carboxy
terminal telopeptide of type I collagen (CTX), a degradation product that is a marker of bone
resorption is released into tissues during the periodontal disease process and reaches the saliva via
GCF. Changes in salivary CTX levels can be used to detect and monitor periodontal disease activity.
Aim of the study: The present study aimed to analyze the effect of phase I therapy in chronic
periodontitis subjects by evaluating the salivary CTX levels and to compare and correlate the salivary
CTX levels with clinical parameters.
Materials and methods: This study was conducted in Aravind Dental Hospital. (for 3 months).
Salivary CTX levels were determined in patients with chronic periodontitis, n=25 (study group), and
healthy controls (n=20) using Enzyme-linked Immunosorbent Assay (ELISA). The salivary CTX
levels were compared and correlated with clinical parameters namely PI, GBI, PPD, CAL before and
after phaseI therapy.
Results: There was a statistically significant increase in salivary CTX levels in the study group when
compared to the control group (p0.05).
Conclusion: In the present study, there was a significant difference in salivary CTX levels between
the groups, and a significant decrease in these levels was observed after phase I therapy in the study
group. This signifies that the detection of CTX in saliva may be useful to detect individuals at risk,
periodontal disease activity, and its response to periodontal therapy.
