Exploring the Role of Vitamin D and Calcium in Peri-Implantitis Susceptibility: A Critical Analysis
Abstract
Vitamin D and calcium are pivotal in maintaining bone health and modulating immune responses, making them essential factors in the context of peri-implant health and disease. This comprehensive review delves into the intricate relationship between vitamin D/calcium deficiency and peri-implantitis, examining the multifaceted mechanisms, clinical implications, and therapeutic considerations involved. Deficiencies in vitamin D and calcium disrupt bone metabolism, compromising osseointegration and predisposing individuals to peri-implant bone loss. Additionally, inadequate levels of these nutrients can impair immune function, leading to heightened inflammatory responses and exacerbating tissue destruction around dental implants. Understanding the interplay between vitamin D/calcium status and peri-implantitis is critical for optimizing treatment outcomes and preserving implant longevity. This review aims to provide valuable insights into the complex interactions between nutrient deficiencies and peri-implant health, informing clinicians and researchers alike in their efforts to enhance patient care and implant success.
