Vitamin - D supplements for better osteointegration in dental implant surgery: A randomized control trial

Abstract

The role of Vitamin - D in osseointegration is of interest. Henceforth, the randomized control trial was conducted wherein 40 Participants were equally divided into two groups. Group A received Vitamin - D3 for 12 weeks following implant placement while Group B, did not receive Vitamin - D supplementation. Osseo-integration was evaluated using radiographic and clinical assessments with Ostell (ISQ). Significant association between Vitamin - D levels and the osseointegration of dental implants was observed. Thus, the relationship between Vitamin – D and dental implant success is shown.
