Purpose: The study focuses on the role of Vitamin D in accelerating orthodontic tooth movement. Vitamin D is a potent stimulator of osteoclastic activity by promoting the recruitment of osteoclast precursors in bone remodeling. In addition, the prevalence of Vitamin D deficiency is high, so it is important to investigate the clinical application of these findings, including the potential use of Vitamin D metabolites to enhance the rate of tooth movement during orthodontic treatment.
Materials and Methods: 3 databases were searched: Scopus, MEDLINE, and Web of Science. The search resulted in 42 publications from databases. 7 studies were included in the qualitative analysis.
Conclusions: The majority of studies showed the locally injected calcitriol to be clinically efficient and cost effective reducing the overall treatment time also it was found initially there was an increase in osteoclastic activity followed by osteoblastic activity, this was also evidenced by several laboratory-based investigations and questionnaire-based assessments pertaining to Vitamin D.

Non-prescription way of getting some of the benefit (nanoemulsion)
Several times a day rub a few drops of Vitamin D nanoemulsion on the gums near the tooth which is to be moved
Topical Vitamin D nanoemulsion provides a high concentration of inactive vitamin D to the gums
The gums, if like a majority of other tissues in the body. can fully activate vitamin D to Calcitriol locallyActivated Vitamin D (calcitriol) injection speeds up orthodontic tooth movement (growth) – Aug 2024734 visitors, last modified 30 Aug, 2024, This page is in the following categories (# of items in each category)
