Dental implants have many advantages over traditional fixed partial dentures, including a high success rate of over 97% for 10 years among certain others. Vitamin D is involved in the calcium and phosphate metabolism of bone tissue in the body and in the maxillofacial region. This information can help dentists reduce the risk of complications after different types of surgery, like dental implant surgery and bone grafting. Due to its involvement in bone metabolic processes and regulation of the immune system, vitamin D is currently of particular interest to dentists performing implant procedures. It is believed that the correct concentration of this prohormone is positively correlated with the process of osseointegration. Numerous studies show that vitamin D is potentially important for the process of postoperative tissue repair, as well as the integration of the implant with bone tissue and bone homeostasis around the implant after it is loaded with a prosthetic crown. Furthermore, adequate serum levels of vitamin D may improve peri-implant bone healing. To date, only a few studies have investigated the possible association between serum vitamin D levels and early dental implant failure hence further clinical research is need of time to provide evidence -based results for the role of vitamin D in dental implants. The purpose of this research is to review the available information about influence and role of vitamin D on dental implants. </p> </abstract> <kwd-group> <kwd>dental</kwd> <kwd> implant</kwd> <kwd> bone</kwd> <kwd> vitamin D</kwd> <kwd> periodontics</kwd> </kwd-group> </article-meta> </front> </article>
