| description | This study investigates the relationship between periodontal disease and
vitamin D deficiency by correlating clinical periodontal parameters with
serum levels of vitamin D; (2) Methods: Data from the literature and the
periodontal status of two patients diagnosed with both periodontal
disease and vitamin D deficiency were evaluated. Clinical parameters
were measured, including plaque index, bleeding on probing, and bone
resorption (%). Serum levels of vitamin D were also analyzed.
Additionally, the patients underwent initial periodontal treatment to
improve the periodontal status; (3) Results: Both patients exhibited
advanced periodontal disease with elevated clinical parameters and
significant bone resorption. Serum levels of vitamin D were below
normal; (4) Conclusions: The findings suggest a significant association
between vitamin D deficiency and periodontal disease severity. Low
serum levels of vitamin D may exacerbate periodontal tissue destruction
and bone resorption. Early detection and management of vitamin D
deficiency could play a crucial role in preventing and treating periodontal
disease. |
