Salivary markers of bone turnover are useful biomarkers for screening patients advanced periodontal diseases with alveolar bone loss. Hence, the purpose of this study was to determine the diagnostic accuracy of deoxypyridinoline-containing degradation fragment of the C-terminal telopeptide region of type I collagen (CTX), Osteocalcin (OC) and Osteonectin (ON) in identifying patients with alveolar bone loss (BL) due to periodontitis.
