Abstract   Vitamin D (VD) is important for the development and maintenance of bone tissue. This study used clinical and radiographic evaluations to analyze whether insufficient VD levels affect the periimplant health of patients with implant-supported prostheses. Data were collected for 33 patients with implant-supported prostheses: probing depth (PD); width of keratinized mucosa (wKM); bleeding index (mBI); periimplant plaque index (mPI); distance from implant to bone crest and VD level using chemiluminescence. After 1 year of implant-supported prosthesis installation, patients with levels under 30 ng/ml at baseline received 50000 IU of VD per week for 8 weeks (post treatment, PT), when clinical and radiographic evaluations were repeated for the control (n=19) and the VD (n=14) groups. Clinical and radiographic results were compared at baseline and at PT.  There were differences in PD (p=0.0247) and distance from implant to bone crest (p<0.0001), but there were not statistically different after supplementation.  wMK, mBI and mPI were not statistically different between groups.  VD levels were 24.95 ± 0.96 ng/mL in the VD group (42.42% of patients), whereas 57.57% of all participants had a mean VD value of 40.99 ± 1.23 ng/mL, a statistically significant difference (p = 0.0034). According to clinical and radiographic findings, VD serum levels do not seem to affect periimplant health. Keywords: Bone Density. Clinical Study.

Este estudo clínico e radiográfico avaliou a reposição dos níveis de vitamina D na saúde periimplantar de pacientes com próteses implantossuportadas. Profundidade bolsa a sondagem (PS), largura da mucosa queratinizada (LMQ), sangramento a sondagem (mBI), presença de placa bacteriana (mPI), distância entre implante e cristas ósseas e dosagem de VD utilizando o teste de quimioluminescência, foram medidos em 33 pacientes. Pacientes com dosagens acima de 30 ng/ml foram classificados como suficientes de VD (grupo controle, n = 19). Pacientes com menos de 30ng/ml (grupo VD, n = 14) receberam, após 1 ano da instalação da prótese sobre implante, reposição de 50.000 UI por semana durante 8 semanas, quando os exames foram repetidos. Dados iniciais intragrupos, bem como dados iniciais e pós-tratamento (PT) intergrupos e intragrupos, foram comparados. Diferenças estatísticas foram encontradas em PS (p=0.0247) e distância entre crista óssea e implante (p<0.0001) entre os grupos, mas não após reposição. Não houve diferença em LMQ, mBI e mPI entre os grupos. O valor médio de VD do grupo VD foi 24,95±0.96 ng/ml para 42,42% dos pacientes, enquanto 57,57% da amostra apresentaram valor médio de 40,99±1.23 ng/ml, demonstrando diferença estatística (p=0.0034). A reposição de VD não parece influenciar os achados clínicos e radiográficos da saúde periimplantar. Palavras-chave: Densidade Óssea. Estudo Clínico. Implantação Dentária.

ABSTRACT Aim The objective of this study was to use clinical parameters, digital subtraction analysis, and computer intensity measurement to evaluate the effect of calcium and vitamin D supplementation in adult periodontitis patients with vertical bony defect after initial therapy. Materials and methods A total of 31 systemically healthy patients with moderate to severe chronic periodontitis and normal serum calcium level were included. The most obvious proximal vertical bony defect was selected in each patient as an area of interest (AOI). Subjects received initial periodontal therapy. They were randomized into two groups. The test group (n= 17) received calcium (600 mg twice daily) and vitamin D (0.25 µg once daily) supplements for 6 months. The control group (n= 14) received placebos. At baseline and 6 months, probing pocket depth (PPD), clinical attachment level (CAL), and standardized vertical bitewing radiographs were recorded for the AOI. Results A greater percentage of patients in the test group (64.7%) than in the control group (35.7%) gained bone according to both radiographic evaluation methods. At baseline and 6 months, no significant intragroup or intergroup differences in PPD and CAL were observed. Slightly greater PPD reduction and CAL gain were noted in the test group. Conclusion Periodontal healing of vertical bony defects was better among patients who used calcium and vitamin D supplements than among control patients. Although the difference was not statistically different between the groups, the test group tended toward more improvement.

Abstract. Despite the high prevalence of hypovitaminosis D in older adults, universal vitamin D supplementation is not recommended due to potential risk of intoxication. Our aim here was to determine the clinical profiles of older community-dwellers with hypovitaminosis D. The perspective is to build novel strategies to screen for and supplement those with hypovitaminosis D. A classification tree (CHAID analysis) was performed on multiple datasets standardizedly collected from 1991 older French community-dwelling volunteers ≥ 65 years in 2009–2012. Hypovitaminosis D was defined as serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D ≤ 50 nmol/L. CHAID analysis retained 5 clinical profiles of older community-dwellers with different risks of hypovitaminosis D up to 87.3%, based on various combinations of the following characteristics: polymorbidity, obesity, sadness and gait disorders. For instance, the probability of hypovitaminosis D was 1.42-fold higher [95CI: 1.27–1.59] for those with polymorbidity and gait disorders compared to those with no polymorbidity, no obesity and no sadness. In conclusion, these easily-recordable measures may be used in clinical routine to identify older community-dwellers for whom vitamin D supplementation should be initiated.

Abstract. Background/Aims: Trials on the effects of cholecalciferol supplementation in type 2 diabetes with chronic kidney disease patients were underexplored. Therefore, the aim of this study was to investigate the effects of two different doses of vitamin D supplementation on serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D [25(OH)D] concentrations and metabolic parameters in vitamin D-deficient Korean diabetes patients with chronic kidney disease. Methods: 92 patients completed this study: the placebo group (A, n = 33), the oral cholecalciferol 1,000 IU/day group (B, n = 34), or the single 200,000 IU injection group (C, n = 25, equivalent to 2,000 IU/day). 52% of the patients had less than 60 mL/min/1.73m2 of glomerular filtration rates. Laboratory test and pulse wave velocity were performed before and after supplementation. Results: After 12 weeks, serum 25(OH)D concentrations of the patients who received vitamin D supplementation were significantly increased (A, -2.4 ± 1.2 ng/mL vs. B, 10.7 ± 1.2 ng/mL vs. C, 14.6 ± 1.7 ng/mL; p < 0.001). In addition, the lipid profiles in the vitamin D injection group (C) showed a significant decrease in triglyceride and a rise in HDL cholesterol. However, the other parameters showed no differences. Conclusions: Our data indicated that two different doses and routes of vitamin D administration significantly and safely increased serum 25(OH)D concentrations in vitamin D-deficient diabetes patients with comorbid chronic kidney disease. In the group that received the higher vitamin D dose, the lipid profiles showed significant improvement, but there were no beneficial effects on other metabolic parameters.

Abstract. Vitamin D is a secosteroid hormone that plays a pivotal role in several metabolic and reproductive pathways in humans. Increasing evidence supports the role of vitamin D deficiency in metabolic disturbances and infertility in women with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS). Indeed, supplementation with vitamin D seems to have a beneficial role on insulin resistance and endometrial receptivity. On the other hand, exceedingly high levels of vitamin D appear to play a detrimental role on oocytes development and embryo quality. In the current review, we summarize the available evidence about the topic, aiming to suggest the best supplementation strategy in women with PCOS or, more generally, in those with metabolic disturbances and infertility. Based on the retrieved data, vitamin D seems to have a beneficial role on IR, insulin sensitivity and endometrial receptivity, but high levels and incorrect timing of administration seem to have a detrimental role on oocytes development and embryo quality. Therefore, we encourage a low dose supplementation (400–800 IU/day) particularly in vitamin D deficient women that present metabolic disturbances like PCOS. As far as the reproductive health, we advise vitamin D supplementation in selected populations, only during specific moments of the ovarian cycle, to support the luteal phase. However, ambiguities about dosage and timing of the supplementation still emerge from the clinical studies published to date and further studies are required.

This review summarizes studies discussing vitamin D status in adults and reveals that vitamin D deficiency/insufficiency is highly prevalent in adults and that current fortification and supplementation policies are inadequate. Background and aims: Studies suggest a crucial role for adequate vitamin D status in various health conditions including bone metabolism, cancer, cardiovascular diseases, and allergies. However, relatively little is known about poor vitamin D status and unmet needs in adults. This report aims to highlight the contribution of epidemiologic studies (through the identification of health effects and societal burden) to the development of vitamin D fortification and supplementation policies and reveal unmet global challenges in adults. Methods: In order to assess worldwide vitamin D status in adults, the search strategy combined the medical literature database MEDLINE (using PubMed) for the time period between January 1, 1980 and February 28, 2011, using the key words “vitamin D” “deficiency” and “insufficiency”, and included articles in which access to full text was possible and in which healthy adults were assessed according to one of four commonly used vitamin D threshold classifications. Results: This report reveals that vitamin D deficiency occurs in 4.10 % [95 % CI (confidence interval), 3.93 %, 4.27 %] to 55.05 % (54.07 %, 56.03 %) of adults, while insufficiency occurs in 26.07 % (24.82 %, 27.33 %) to 78.50 % (77.85 %, 79.16 %), depending on the classification used. However, lack of overlap in CIs and high value of I2 statistics indicate considerable heterogeneity between studies. Further, certain populations (i. e. dark-skinned individuals, immigrants, and pregnant women) may be at higher risk for poor vitamin D status. Conclusion: Current policies for vitamin D supplementation and fortification are inadequate and new guidelines are required to improve vitamin D status in adults.

The aim of our study was to evaluate the effects of vitamin D supplementation on circulating levels of magnesium and selenium in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). A total of 126 adult Saudi patients (55 men and 71 women, mean age 53.6 ± 10.7 years) with controlled T2DM were randomly recruited for the study. All subjects were given vitamin D3 tablets (2000 IU/day) for six months. Follow-up mean concentrations of serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D [25-(OH) vitamin D] significantly increased in both men (34.1 ± 12.4 to 57.8 ± 17.0 nmol/L) and women (35.7 ± 13.5 to 60.1 ± 18.5 nmol/L, p < 0.001), while levels of parathyroid hormone (PTH) decreased significantly in both men (1.6 ± 0.17 to 0.96 ± 0.10 pmol/L, p = 0.003) and women (1.6 ± 0.17 to 1.0 ± 0.14 pmol/L, p = 0.02). In addition, there was a significant increase in serum levels of selenium and magnesium in men and women (p-values < 0.001 and 0.04, respectively) after follow-up. In women, a significant correlation was observed between delta change (variables at six months-variable at baseline) of serum magnesium versus high-density lipoprotein (HDL)-cholesterol (r = 0.36, p = 0.006) and fasting glucose (r = - 0.33, p = 0.01). In men, there was a significant correlation between serum selenium and triglycerides (r = 0.32, p = 0.04). Vitamin D supplementation improves serum concentrations of magnesium and selenium in a gender-dependent manner, which in turn could affect several cardiometabolic parameters such as glucose and lipids.
