[Blood biochemical parameters of C-reactive protein and C-terminal telopeptides in adolescents and young people for early diagnosis of inflammatory diseases of the periodontium].
Fifty-one adolescents aged 15 to 16 years and 43 young persons aged 21 to 32 years from risk and control groups were examined, their blood samples were tested for C-reactive protein (CRP) and C-terminal telopeptides (CTTP), by using immunoassay. Elevated CRP concentrations were found in risk-group adolescents and young persons as compared with healthy and comparison individuals, which suggested the development of an inflammatory process. The patients from these groups were observed to have increased CTTP. Thus, laboratory tests may be used for early diagnosis of inflammatory diseases of the periodontium.
