Evaluation of Vitamin D Supplementation to Enhance Healing and Success of Dental Implants in Adults with Vitamin D Deficiency

What this Trial Is About

Researchers are investigating the effect of systemic vitamin D supplementation on the healing and long-term success of dental implants in adults with vitamin D deficiency. The study focuses on improving osseointegration, the crucial process where the implant surface bonds with living bone, which is essential for implant stability and function. Despite a high overall success rate for dental implants, failures due to poor osseointegration remain a challenge, and vitamin Ds role in bone health and mineral metabolism may influence implant outcomes. Participants are randomly assigned to one of two groups one group receives systemic vitamin D supplements before andor after dental implant placement to correct vitamin D deficiency, while the other group undergoes standard implant placement and follow-up without vitamin D intervention. The study evaluates how vitamin D supplementation affects bone healing and implant osseointegration. During the study, participants will be monitored over several months, with assessments including implant osseointegration over three months and marginal bone loss six months after prosthesis placement. Implant survival rates will also be tracked six months post-prosthesis. Participants will have regular follow-up visits to evaluate healing progress and treatment success under medical supervision, with the total study duration extending up to approximately six months after prosthesis placement.
