About

In this study there is a trial to investigate whether there is a correlation between early implant failure and low serum levels of vitamin D.

Full description

Osseointegration is a complex phenomenon and depends on many factors; some are related to the implant (material, macroscopic design, and implant surface), others to the surgical-prosthetic protocol (surgical technique, loading conditions, and time), and others to the patient (quantity/quality of bone at the receiving site and the host response)

All these observations would suggest the existence of specific patient-related risk factors such as vitamin D deficiency in the blood, could play an important role in the occurrence of early dental implant failures (EDIFs), but unfortunately are neglected by the dental literature.

In this study there is a trial to investigate whether there is a correlation between early implant failure and low serum levels of vitamin D. Therefore we are including patients with early implant failure during the year 2020 using the same implant (material, macroscopic design, and implant surface), surgical-prosthetic protocol (surgical technique, loading conditions, and time)

The study will be performed into 15 male and 15 female participants that had dental implant placement in the last 3 months. An informed consent will be signed with the patient with full detail on the study.

The situation of the implant will be categorized into either successful or failed dental implant.

Medical history and lifestyle information will be obtained by questionnaire. Levels of serum vitamin D will be collected from participants

Statistical analysis will correlate between vitamin D and early implant failure.
