Osteoporosis known as a risk factor in implant treatment is not only characterized by a decrease in bone mineral density but also a reduction in bone quality. Biochemical markers of bone turnover are useful diagnostic procedure for general bone quality. The aim of this study is to investigate the correlation between biochemical markers of bone turnover and local bone quality of jaw bone and peri-implant crestal bone loss. NTX as bone resorption marker had negative correlation with skeletal structural parameters (r=-0.43 to -0.58), and positive correlation with DPD as bone resorption marker and peri-implant crestal bone loss after 12 months implant placement was recognized (r=0.32 to 0.41) in postmenopausal women. These results suggest, biochemical makers are useful methods to evaluate bone quality of mandibular and to predict a risk for implant treatment.
