Abstract

Purpose: Dental implants have become a definitive method for the esthetic and functional rehabilitation of both partially and completely edentulous arch. There is a significant role of vitamin D in bone metabolism and there are only few human studies that evaluate the effect of vitamin D deficiency on stability of dental implants. The study thus aims to evaluate the correlation of vitamin D deficiency and implant stability in delayed endosseous implant.

Methods: The study included 20 subjects of either gender in the age group of 20-50 years, who required implant placement for rehabilitation of partially edentulous condition. Vitamin D status was evaluated for all subjects preoperatively. Implant stability was checked postoperatively at three months and six months using Electronic Technology Resonance Frequency Analysis.

Results: The study found that for every 1 ng/ml increase in Vitamin D levels, the implant stability Quotient value (ISQ) significantly increased by 0.48 at 3 months and 0.62 units at 6 months, which was statistically significant at  = 0.01 and  = 0.002, respectively. Statistical analysis was done using Student Paired test, Pearson Correlation test and Simple Linear regression analysis.

Conclusion: Albeit the smaller sample size, the results of the study showed the positive influence of vitamin D on stability of implant The study thus emphasizes on the significance of screening the vitamin D status of subjects prior to implant placement.
