Vitamin d deficiency may undermine dental implants — trial tests if supplements can fix it
NCT ID NCT07684404
First seen Jul 06, 2026 · Last updated Jul 07, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study tests whether taking vitamin D supplements helps dental implants fuse better with the jawbone in people who are deficient in vitamin D. Ten adults aged 20–60 with low vitamin D levels and a missing tooth in the back of the jaw will receive either vitamin D or no supplement before implant placement. Researchers will measure implant stability right after surgery and check bone loss six months later to see if vitamin D improves healing.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
- Active substance
- Vitamin D
- What this could lead to
- If vitamin D improves implant stability and reduces bone loss, it could become a standard pre-treatment for deficient patients, boosting implant success rates.
- What could go wrong
- This is a very small early trial (10 people) with short follow-up (6 months). Results may not apply to everyone, and vitamin D may not significantly affect implant outcomes.
