An objective assessment of the morphofunctional characteristics of the state of soft tissues and bone structures adjacent to the dental implant allows to control the dynamics of the processes of osseointegration in the jaw-dental implant system. The aim of the work was to investigate the level of the р-CrossLaps, С-reactive protein (CRP), osteocalcin markers after orthopedic treatment of patients using dental implant supported advanced dental restoration technologies, to perform a biochemical analysis of the oral fluid of patients after restoration using dental implants and new two-part dental implants. In patients of the index group (52 people), the removable prostheses with metal frame and fixing elements or the commercially available dental implant supported removable prostheses were installed. For the patients of the control group (12 people), the commercially available dental implant supported removable prostheses of acrylic plastics were constructed. For all the patients after 6 months the level of р-CrossLaps, CRP, osteocalcin markers in the oral fluid was analysed. In patients of the index group, the average content of р-CrossLaps was 0.0126 ± 0.002 ng/ml, in the control group it was 0.0147 ± 0.002 ng/ml. The average content of the CRP in patients of the index group was 0.358 ± 0.019 mg/l, in patients of the control group it was 0.78 ± 0.01 mg/l. In patients of the index group, the average content of osteocalcin was 1.46 ± 0.25 ng/ml, in the control group it was 1.98 ± 0.31 ng/ml. It has been shown that biochemical markers of the oral fluid can be used to predict complications after the dental implants installation. Restoration with two-part dental implants of modern design is associated with fewer complications.

When treating patients with partial and complete absence of teeth using dental implant supported prostheses, it is important to plan the surgical intervention, select the implant system and the prosthesis, predict the outcome of the chosen set of
measures. An objective assessment of the morphological and functional characteristics of the state of soft tissues and bone structures adjacent to the dental implant is essential. It allows to prevent errors that can lead to disruption of the processes
of osseointegration in the jaw — dental implant system and contribute to the development of early and late destructive inflammatory complications [1].
After installation of commercially available dental implants, two-part dental implants and orthopedic treatment with improved prostheses, it is necessary to study the factors that serve as indicators of the preclinical stage of development of inflammatory destructive disorders. For this purpose, the studies of the oral fluid as a biological media that provides homeostasis of the tissues in the periimplant zone are conducted [2-4].
The regeneration of bone tissue around the implant after a dental implantation operation is a combination of processes of structural and functional recovery after damage. The process of ossification is based on the mechanisms of transformation of undifferentiated cells into osteoblasts, the process of osteoinduction, as well as the emergence of a matrix that ensures the deposition of bone stock. Indicators reflecting the processes of destruction and the state of mineralization-demineralization of bone tissue include osteocalcin, C-reactive protein (CRP), the cleavage product of C-telopeptide of the I type collagen (P-CrossLaps) [5-8].
Osteocalcin is a non-collagen calcium-binding protein of the bone matrix, consisting of 49 amino acid residues. It is synthesized almost exclusively by osteoblasts and is involved in the processes of mineralization, it is a marker of bone remodeling. P-CrossLaps is a bone resorption marker. CRP is a typical protein of the acute phase of inflammation, which is considered to be the most sensitive laboratory marker of infection, inflammation and tissue damage. In its structure, the CRP consists of five identical polypeptide subunits, forming a cyclic disc-shaped pentameric structure. Synthesis of CRP occurs in hepatocytes and is regulated by anti-inflammatory cytokines. In presence of inflammation, infection, or traumatic injury, the CRP levels quickly increase. In the oral fluid, the level of CRP reaches its maximum 24 hours after activation of its synthesis in hepatocytes, [9-12].
Complications of dental implantation occur in 6-23% of cases. According to epidemiological studies data, in patients who use dental implant supported prostheses for a long time, the signs of mucositis are present in 80% of cases, and the signs of periimplantitis are present in 28-56% cases. Clinical manifestations of dental periimplantitis are predicated by the presence of the destructive inflammatory process. A significant number of publications shows the great informative value of the qualitative and quantitative assessment of indicators of the oral fluid of patients, and the ability to use indicators of oral fluid as a prognostic instruments for dental implantation [13-15].
The aim of the work was to determine the levels of the P-CrossLaps, CRP, osteocalcin markers after orthopedic treatment of patients using advanced implant supported restoration techniques.
METHODS
The study included 52 patients of the index group and 12 patients of the control group. Criteria for inclusion of patients in the study: any gender; partial absence of teeth, Kennedy class I and II. Exclusion criteria: dentofacial anomalies; the presence of diseases of the endocrine system and of the gastrointestinal tract.
Patients of the index group were divided into two subgroups: index group 1 and index group 2. Index group 1 included 12 patients: 4 men and 8 women aged 45-65 years. In the patients of this group, the removable prostheses with a metal frame and fixing elements were installed. Telescopic crowns and clasps
were used. 28 two-part dental implants of our design (Patent of Russian Federation № 2593349) were installed.
Index group 2 included 40 patients: 15 men and 25 women aged 45-65 years. In patients of this group, the commercially available dental implant supported removable prostheses (85 dental implants) were installed. The fixing elements were located in the metal frame of the removable prosthesis.
For the patients of the index group, the removable prostheses were constructed of thermoplastics, nylon with a metal frame (Patent of Russian Federation № 2588488). Introduction of molded frame into thermoplastic made it possible to evenly distribute the load on the abutment teeth and dental implants, to obtain the possibility of stabilization along the plane, to improve the fixation of the prosthesis.
The control group included 12 patients: 3 men and 9 women aged 45-65 years, for whom the commercially available dental implant supported removable prostheses made of acrylic plastics were constructed. The fixing elements were located in the basis of a removable prosthesis; depending on the defect of the dental arcade, 2-3 dental implants were installed.
When examining patients, the dental status was assessed. All participants were subjected to biochemical analysis of oral fluid samples by determining the following metabolic parameters: P-CrossLaps, CRP, osteocalcin. Study of the metabolic processes of oral homeostasis is a non-invasive research method. Evaluation of metabolic processes in the bone tissue of patients of control and index groups was performed 6 months after orthopedic treatment. At the stage of biochemical analysis of saliva, patients did not have signs of acute somatic diseases.
The quantitative analysis of P-CrossLaps and osteocalcin in the oral fluid was performed by the solid-phase tube method with ECL reaction on the basis of the streptavidin-biotin technology with ruthenium label using the Elecsys-2010 (F. Hoffmann-La Roche; Switzerland) automatic ECL laboratory unit. Evaluation of CRP was performed on the Cobas Integra 400 plus (F. Hoffmann-La Roche; Switzerland) biochemical analyzer. The following diagnostic kits (F. Hoffmann-La Roche; Switzerland) were used: a set of calibrators for evaluation of P-CrossLaps, N-MID osteocalcin, a reagent kit for quantitative analysis of P-CrossLaps, N-MID osteocalcin, C-reactive protein Lx.
Statistical processing of the obtained data was performed using Student's t-test on a personal computer running the Microsoft Windows 10 operating system using the SPSS Statistics 21.0 (license № 20130626-3; USA) statistical software package.
The parametric Student's t-test was used, as well as the Kruskal-Wallis one-way analysis of variance and the MannWhitney U-test.
RESULTS
The table presents the values of metabolic parameters of samples of oral fluid from patients of the control and index groups taken 6 months after orthopedic treatment.
In the index group, the average content of P-CrossLaps in the oral fluid was 0.0126 ± 0.002 ng/ml, in the control group it was 0.0147 ± 0.002 ng/ml. During the bone resorption, telopeptides with remnants of collagen molecules enter the oral fluid.
In the index group, the average content of CRP was 0.358 ± 0.019 mg/l, in the control group it was 0.78 ± 0.01 mg/l.
To assess the metabolic processes in the bone tissue of patients after orthopedic treatment, we evaluated the osteocalcin content in the oral fluid. In the index group, the

average value was 1.46 ± 0.25 ng/ml, in the control group the average value was 1.98 ± 0.31 ng/ml. Osteocalcin, the bone matrix protein, containing the y-carboxyglutamic acid, promotes the fixation of calcium ions and enables mineralization. Osteocalcin exhibits chemotactic properties in relation to the precursor cells of osteoblasts and osteoclasts, attracting them to the osteogenesis zone.
In the index group, the biochemical parameters in 3 patients had the following values: p-CrossLaps — 0.0295 ± 0.002 ng/ml, CRP — 1.17 ± 0.03 mg/l, osteocalcin — 2.92 ± 0.11 ng/ml. In the control group, in 3 patients there were the following values: P-CrossLaps — 0.0463 ± 0.002 ng/ml, CRP — 1.49 ± 0.01 mg/l, osteocalcin — 3.11 ± 0.17 ng/ml. The obtained values of metabolic parameters of patients of the control group indicate presence of characteristic for periimplantitis destructive processes in the bone tissue. The number of complications in the index and control groups of patients was 5.8 and 16.7%, respectively.
DISCUSSION
The state of oral homeostasis after the dental implantation operation was studied by determining indicators of the metabolism of the oral fluid of patients in the control and index groups, reflecting the presence of destruction processes, the state of mineralization and demineralization of bone tissue. The study of early predictors [2, 6, 11] of the destructive inflammatory process in the periimplant zone allows to control the dynamics of the processes of osseointegration in the jaw — dental implant system. Metabolic indices of P-CrossLaps, CRP, osteocalcin reflected the intensity of the inflammatory response characteristic of the traumatic process during the dental implantation operation.
CRP analysis is an objective method of screening the inflammatory activity in patients of the control and index groups after dental implantation using commercially available dental implants, two-part dental implants and after orthopedic treatment using improved prostheses.
To assess the metabolic processes in the bone tissue of patients after dental implantation, we evaluated the osteocalcin content.
The method of studying oral fluid as the main homeostatic environment of the oral cavity objectively reflected the response
of oral tissues during destructive inflammatory processes that occurred in patients of the control and index groups after the dental implantation operation. In the presence of minor inflammatory events, changes in the metabolic indices of the oral fluid occurred associated with the delivery of the destroyed protein macromolecules fragments, the insufficiently oxidized metabolic products.
An increase in the level of osteocalcin in the oral fluid indicated a decrease in the mineralization in the periimplant zone and the plastic resources of the bone tissue in patients of the control group. The increased content of CRP reflects the severity of the inflammatory response, which allows to obtain additional evaluation criteria for characterizing the pathological process. Patients in the control group after 3 months of anti-inflammatory and antimicrobial therapy experienced a decrease in the level of biochemical parameters.
Lower levels of inflammation in patients of the index group compared to the control group are attributed to the use of improved prostheses and fixing elements supported by titanium abutments of the two-part dental implants.
When analyzing the results of osteomatrix protein content in saliva, a rapid increase in P-CrossLaps decay fragments and an increase in the concentration of osteocalcin and CRP were found. These data indicate the specificity of the revealed violations of the biochemical composition of the oral fluid during the acceleration of osteoclastic processes in patients with complications.
A characteristic indicator of enhanced bone resorption is an established increase of the content of collagen fragments (P-CrossLaps), osteocalcin, CRP.
CONCLUSION
The results of our research confirmed that metabolic markers such as P-CrossLaps, CRP, osteocalcin, in patients after dental implantation are informative for predicting complications when using different types of dental implants. A lower percentage of complications and a smaller deviation from normal level of the inflammation indicators in patients of the index group compared to the control group are presumably associated with the use of improved prostheses and fixing elements supported by titanium abatments of the two-part dental implants.
