Abstract:

Objective To investigate seserum levels of collagen triple helix repeat containing protein-1 (CTHRC1) and C-X3-C motif chemokine ligand 1 (CX3CL1) and their correlation with prognosis in patients undergoing oral implant restorations. Methods A total of 247 patients underwent oral implant restorations were selected as the implant restoration group, and 247 healthy subjects who underwent medical checkups during the same period were selected as the control group. Serum CTHRC1 and CX3CL1 levels were detected by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) at 1 week preoperatively, 1 week postoperatively and 1 month postoperatively in the 2 groups. According to the X-ray examination results of the patients at 6 month after surgery, patients were separated into the poor prognosis group (28 cases) and the good prognosis group (219 cases). C-reactive protein (CRP), interleukin 6 (IL-6), CTHRC1 and CX3CL1 levels were compared in patients at 1 month postoperatively. Multifactor COX regression was applied to analyze factors influencing poor prognosis of implants. Results Compared with the control group, there were no significant changes in serum CTHRC1 and CX3CL1 levels in the implant restoration group at 1 week preoperatively (P>0.05), and serum CTHRC1 and CX3CL1 levels were elevated at 1 week postoperatively and at 1 month postoperatively (P<0.05). The serum levels of CTHRC1 and CX3CL1 showed a trend of first increasing and then decreasing one week before surgery, one week after surgery and one month after surgery in the implant repair group. One week after surgery reached the highest (426.85±73.52) μg/L and (142.41±15.26 ) ng/L, respectively. There was a positive correlation between CTHRC1 and CX3CL1 in patients with oral implant restoration (r=0.436, P<0.001). The inflammatory factors CRP, IL-6, CTHRC1 and CX3CL1 were obviously higher in the poor prognosis group than those in the good prognosis group (P<0.05). Multifactor COX regression analysis showed that both CTHRC1 and CX3CL1 were independent influencing factors for poor implant prognosis in patients underwent oral implant restorations (P<0.05). Conclusion Serum CTHRC1 and CX3CL1 levels are upregulated in patients with poor prognosis for oral implant restorations, and both are independent influencing factors on patient prognosis.
