Dr Emily Lu: "The Impact of Vitamin D on Periodontal Health: Biological basis and Clinical Relevance."
Vitamin D exerts its biological effects through potent antimicrobial, anti-inflammatory, and host-modulatory actions and preclinical and clinical research indicate that vitamin D plays a role in the development of periodontitis. Early clinical research examining the relationship between vitamin D status and periodontal health consistently found an inverse relationship between serum 25(OH)D₃ levels and periodontal inflammation. Longitudinal and prospective studies exploring this association are scarce. Some evidence suggests that vitamin D may influence the progression of periodontal disease and tooth loss. Current evidence suggests that maintaining sufficient vitamin D levels contributes to better periodontal health. This session will outline the biological basis by which vitamin D might influence periodontal health and provide an update regarding the impact of vitamin D status on periodontal clinical outcomes.
Aims:
- To outline the vitamin D pathway and provide an overview of the biological effects of calcitriol
- To provide an understanding of the relationship between serum 25OHD and periodontal disease.
- To outline some of the findings from longterm studies examining vitamin D status and periodontal disease progression.
Objectives:
- Understand the biological basis by which vitamin D might influence periodontal health
- Understand the association between serum 250HD and periodontal disease
- Understand the impact of vitamin D status on periodontal clincial outcomes
Friday 3 October: 4:15-5pm
