Abstract

The aim of the study was to clinically evaluate the effectiveness of vitamin D administration in the treatment of chronic apical periodontitis.
Materials and methods.
In 128 patients aged from 20 to 80 years with chronic apical periodontitis the concentration of vitamin D in blood plasma was measured before treatment. According to the results of biochemical analysis, the patients were divided into 3 groups: I — 42 people with vitamin D deficiency (less than 30 ng/mL), who were additionally prescribed cholecalciferol; II — 40 people with vitamin D deficiency, without correction of its level during treatment; III — 46 patients with normal vitamin D level. Before treatment and after 3, 6, 12 and 18 months the concentration of vitamin D in blood serum and the size of foci of destruction of periapical tissues of teeth according to CBCT were measured.
Results.
 The time of complete healing in groups I and III was on average 21.4 and 19.9 months shorter than in group II patients with vitamin D deficiency and without vitamin D level correction during treatment (p<0.0001).
Conclusion.
Inclusion of vitamin D in therapy increases the intensity of bone metabolic processes, accelerates the rate of bone formation and leads to complete restoration of periapical tissues.

Key words:

vitamin D, endodontic treatment, chronic apical periodontitis, CBCT, bone tissue destruction, remodeling
