Objectives The aim of this pilot case–control study was to investigate the association of
clinical variables and genetic polymorphisms in the vitamin D receptor gene (VDR) with …

Osseointegration failure is a complex, multifactorial trait shown to concentrate in some
treated populations. There has been shown evidence for genetic contribution to dental …

Background. Since osseointegration depends on bone metabolism, low levels of vitamin D
in the blood may negatively affect bone formation around dental implants. To date, only a …

Aim. To investigate whether there is a correlation between early dental implant failure and
low serum levels of vitamin D. Methods. All patients treated with dental implants in a single …

The variety in shape and type of dental implants in the present time is considered one of the
most successful evolutions in dentistry. This facilitates dental treatment options to restore …

Mangano F, Oskouei S, Paz A, Mangano N, Mangano C. Low serum vitamin D and early
dental implant failure: Is there a connection? A retrospective clinical study on 1740 implants …

D Vitamin (calciferol) presents an important role in bone metabolism (turnover) and
maintenance of calcium and phosphorus levels in blood. The main source of production is …

Purpose: The patient population varies in nutritional deficiencies, which may confound the
host response to biomaterials. The objective of this study was to evaluate the effect of a …

At present, dental implants are used more than before, and their high success rate is
attributed to sufficient osseointegration, which depends on prosthetic-, implant-, and patient …

Background: Genetic polymorphisms in the vitamin D receptor (VDR) gene are associated
with bone homeostasis and diseases in which bone loss is a cardinal sign. The aim of this …
