Özet

Objective and Background Both periodontitis and osteoporosis are associated with osteoclast-related bone resorption. Bone metabolism is regulated by wingless-type MMTV integration site family (WNT), and WNT/beta-catenin signals are controlled by physiological antagonists including dickkopf-1 (DKK-1) and sclerostin (SOST). This study examined the effects of periodontal and bisphosphonate (BP) treatment on the gingival crevicular fluid (GCF) sclerostin (SOST) and dickkopf-related protein-1 (DKK-1) levels in osteoporotic and systemically healthy postmenopausal women with and without periodontitis. Materials and Methods A total of 48 postmenopausal women were divided into 4 groups (n = 12) according to periodontal health and osteoporosis status, as follows: Group OP/P: subjects with both osteoporosis and periodontitis; Group P: systemically healthy subjects with periodontitis; Group OP: periodontally healthy subjects with osteoporosis; Group H: systemically and periodontally healthy controls. Clinical data and GCF SOST and DKK-1 levels of the participants were collected at baseline and at 6 and 12 months following the initiation of periodontal and/or BP treatment in the experimental groups. GCF SOST and DKK-1 data were obtained by ELISA. Results Clinical improvements were observed in all experimental groups. GCF SOST and DKK1 baseline levels varied significantly between groups due to periodontal disease (p < .001). Following treatment, significant increases in SOST and DKK-1 concentrations and significant decreases in total amounts of SOST were observed in both periodontitis groups (OP/P, P). However, while total amounts of DKK-1 decreased in Group OP/P, in Group P, these amounts had significantly increased at 12 months post-treatment (p < .05). At both 6 and 12 months post-treatment, SOST and DDK1 total amounts in Groups OP/P, OP, and H were similar (p > .05), whereas significant differences were observed between Groups H and P, indicating a deviation from periodontal health in Group P (p < .01). Conclusions Significant changes in GCF SOST and DKK-1 levels were observed among women with osteoporosis who received both periodontal and BP treatment. A more detailed examination of how these treatment protocols can be combined may lead to new therapeutic approaches towards periodontal disease.
