The Effect of Vitamin D Supplementation on Dental Implant Osseointegration: A Randomized Controlled Trial

February 22, 2024 updated by: Dr. Atif Iqbal, Ziauddin University
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

Study Overview

Detailed Description

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.

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Osseo-integration is measured by evaluating the ISQ value (Implant Stability Quotient, ranging from 1-100)
Time Frame: 12 weeks
It will assess the difference in osseo-integration among patients undergoing dental implant procedures. Osseo-integration is measured by evaluating the ISQ value (Implant Stability Quotient, ranging from 1-100) using radiographic and clinical assessments with Ostell. A higher ISQ value indicates greater stability of the dental implants in the surrounding bone tissue. The assessment is conducted three months post-implantation, following a period of implant curing.
12 weeks

Secondary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Evaluation of Mean Change in Serum Vitamin D Levels in Dental Implant Patients with and without Vitamin D Supplementation at a Tertiary Care Hospital
Time Frame: 12 weeks
The secondary outcome in this study is to measure the mean change in serum vitamin D levels in both groups. This involves assessing how the serum vitamin D levels evolve over the course of the study in both the group receiving vitamin D supplementation and the group receiving a placebo.
12 weeks
