Abstract
Purpose. The aim of this study was to review the current literature to evaluate the effects of vitamin D on osseointegration of dental implants in humans. Material and methods. The PRISMA Statement’s methodological guidelines were followed in the systematic review of the scientific literature. The Elsevier and PubMed databases were searched from October 2012 to October 2022 using different combinations of the following terms: dental implant, bone implant contact, vitamin D and osseointegration. The current systematic review format was modified to primarily summarize the relevant data. Results. 3 prospective clinical studies with humans as subjects met the inclusion criteria. The amount of inserted titanium implants ranged between 32 to 122. It was shown that changes in the vitamin D concentration were positively linked with bone loss/growth at the implant site. Patients who took vitamin D supplements and had low vitamin D levels after the implant loading had a positive impact on bone level changes in the process of osseointegration. Conclusion. There is some evidence to support the concept that serum vitamin D levels may play a significant role in osseointegration, marginal bone loss, and success of dental implants. Further investigation is required to maintain these assumptions.
