The Effect of Vitamin D Supplementation on Dental Implant Osseointegration: A Randomized Controlled Trial
The Effect of Vitamin D Supplementation on Dental Implant Osseointegration: A Randomized Controlled Trial
Dental implantation is a new technique for the single or more missing tooth replacement. Dental professionals might utilize the findings of this investigation to generate local data and learn more about how vitamin D affects bone metabolism and implant osseo-integration. The long-term success of dental implants would also be enhanced and preserved with the right medical use of vitamin D
Treatment option for replacing lost natural teeth is dental implants. Many factors are essential for the dental implant osse-ointegration, consisting of bone quality and volume, surgical approach and complications and host-associated factors like deficient nutritional status. By influencing bone metabolism, vitamin D, together with calcium, is essential for osseo-integrating implants. The significance of vitamin D supplementation in osseo-integration has received little attention in dental literature; there is little data involving people, and the majority of investigations have used animal models. Due to numerous environmental and dietary factors, international data is not applicable to our population. Latest study shows that 54% of the individuals were vitamin D deficient and 31% had vitamin D insufficiency in Pakistan.(Riaz et al., 2016) As well as Pakistani are less likely to expose to sun due to their full clothing, use of veil and Burqah. This research was therefore assessed the impact of vitamin D supplementation during dental implant osseointegration. In this research, the local data have been generated and dental implants in the presence of vitamin-D supplementation were tested for effectiveness.
