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.
