Read the detailed description

This is a clinical research study, characterized by a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled clinical trial. Background: Vitamin D replacement could aid in the osseointegration of dental implants. Objective: to evaluate the effect of vitamin D replacement on osseointegration of dental implants in humans. Materials and methods: Twenty individuals with hypovitaminosis D underwent dental miniimplants and randomized to two equal groups for treatment with vitamin D (5000 IU / day) or placebo for 2 months. After two months, the miniimplants will be removed and prepared for histomorphometric analysis, which will evaluate bone implant contact in percentage. Testing the hypothesis that the contact between bone and implant and the bone density in the threaded area in the test group is higher than in the control group. Test t will be used to compare the differences between the groups.

Study arms

  • Experimental
    Arm vitamin D

    Vitamin D 5.000 IU a day for 2 months (10 drops after lunch)

    Drug: Vitamin D

  • Placebo comparator
    Arm placebo

    Placebo for 2 months (10 drops after lunch)

    Other: Placebo

Interventions

  • Only patients with vitamin D deficiency / deficiency will be included in the study. Randomly, they will be divided into two groups. This group will receive vitamin D supplementation. Vitamin D3 - cholecalciferol, oral suspension in drops, will be prescribed as follows: • 5,000 IU / day - 10 drops per day for two months.

  • OtherPlacebo

    Only patients with vitamin D deficiency / deficiency will be included in the study. Randomly, they will be divided into two groups. This control group will receive placebo. Placebo (olive oil mint flavor), oral suspension in drops, will be prescribed as follows: • 10 drops per day for two months.

What researchers measure

Primary outcomes

  1. Percentage of bone implant contact

    Histomorphometry will be used as a method of analysis. It will evaluate the initial stage of osseointegration in the two groups, relating it to insufficiency / deficiency and sufficiency of vitamin D. The percentage of bone implant contact, defined as the amount of mineralized bone in direct contact with the surface of the miniimplant, will be evaluated.

    Time frame: 2 months

Secondary outcomes

  1. Serum levels of vitamin D (ng/ml)

    The 25-hydroxyvitamin D test is a common blood test and is the best way to monitor vitamin D levels. The test can determine if the person's blood has deficiency or excessive vitamin D. The method used to evaluate the blood test is chemiluminescent immunoassay technology (CLIA).

    Time frame: 2 months

Timeline

Tracking since Sep 25, 2026
ElapsedEstimatedEstimated, not yet reachedSimilar studies: half by the dot; the band is the middle halfHalf of similar studies reached it by the dot; the band is the middle half, from a quarter to three quarters

Started Nov 2017 (actual). Primary completion is estimated for Dec 2017, 1 month after the start.

Of 13 phase 1 interventional studies under Vitamin D Deficiency, half reached primary completion within 23 months of starting (the median), counting those still running; a quarter within 9 and three quarters within 44. This study's planned 1 month is below that.

What these dates mean
Start.
When the first participant enrolled; while estimated, when the study expects to open to recruitment.
Primary completion.
When the last participant was examined or treated to collect data for the study's main question, its primary outcome. A study that stopped early gives the date its data collection stopped.
Completion.
When the last participant's last visit took place, for every outcome, secondary ones and side effects included: the end of the study. Often later than primary completion, sometimes the same day.
Actual and Est.
Actual means the registry says the date has happened. Est. (estimated) is a date the sponsor plans or expects. It can still move, and the sponsor is expected to change it to actual once it has passed.
No changes since tracking began. The registry record was last updated on Nov 29, 2017, before this site started recording changes on Sep 25, 2026. Its history is on ClinicalTrials.gov ↗
