Learning Content
Current evidence from clinical research suggests that maintaining sufficient vitamin D levels contributes to better periodontal health, influencing the progression of periodontal disease and tooth loss. 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.
