- Can vitamin D levels influence bone metabolism and osseointegration of dental implants? – Umbrella reviewPublication . Tallon, Eduardo; Macedo, José PauloIntroduction: Due to the large amount of scientific evidence on the subject and the limitations and incongruities in previous reviews, the primary aim of this umbrella review was to gather all the information regarding the importance of vitamin D levels in the osseointegration of dental implants. Methods: The literature search was performed in PubMed, Web of Science, CINAHL Plus, Cochrane Library, and Academic Search Complete throughout the search expression ["vitamin D” AND (“dental implant” OR “dental implants”)]. Results: The initial search yielded 351 results but at the end of the process only five Systematic Reviews were selected. Conclusions: Vitamin D seems to have a positive effect on the osseointegration of dental implants and on the reduction of dental implant failures, however it is recommended that future studies take into account the limitations mentioned in this study, in order to increase the validity and quality of scientific evidence on the subject.
