Why we need vitamin D even in summer. Doctors’ explanations

We get 90 percent of our vitamin D from exposure to the sun and only 10 percent from animal foods, which contain fat. In summer and winter, vitamin D is taken from supplements, otherwise it is difficult to maintain the correct dose. At normal levels of vitamin D in the blood, you absorb 30% of the calcium present in food. If there is a deficiency, less than 10% of calcium is absorbed.

Any surgical intervention, which involves the bones, requires the dose of this vitamin in the blood. And, most likely, vitamin D supplements It is also about dental interventions.

Dragoș Popescu, dentist, implantologist: “Unfortunately, in Romania, we have a lack of vitamin D and this vitamin helps bone regeneration and bone healing after interventions, not only in implantology. And if you have a fracture, it will be much better if you have vitamin D in the optimal limits”.

In the case of teeth that replace an implant, this titanium device must osseointegrate, meaning that the body creates bone around it, under the best conditions.

Mihnea Velisarato, oral surgery specialist: “If the patient does not have a sufficient amount of bone or good quality, you cannot have the main stability of the implant and you cannot benefit from immediate rehabilitation and then, basically, you will stay for several months. as the implant to osseointegrate. It is the same as breaking, that is why we put our hand in plaster, to create a callus. And with the implant, the body must create bone, osseointegrate”.

If you’ve been missing your teeth for a long time and the bone they were in has eroded significantly, you may not be able to get a fixed temporary job right away.

Mihnea Velisarato, oral surgery specialist: “We are moving towards a classic system in which we insert several implants, we need bone augmentation, sinus lifts, we do not load implants in immediately”.

Before any bone surgery, you need a blood count, bleeding time, blood sugar and blood vitamin D levels.
