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 β-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 β-CrossLaps, CRP, osteocalcin markers in the oral fluid was analysed. In patients of the index group, the average content of β-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.
