Bangladeshi population (20-45 age) presents
early loss of tooth without any history of systemic disease.
Low serum vitamin D level is one of the factors of early tooth
loss. The aim of the study is to assess the significance of low
or insufficient serum vitamin D level as a factor of early
tooth loss in Bangladesh perspective.
Materials and Methods: An observational study was
performed in dental unit of TMSS Medical College from

by non-random sampling (judgment sampling) who fulfilled
the inclusion and exclusion criteria. We assessed the variable
like gingivitis, periodontal pocket & tooth mobility clinically.
The depth of the periodontal pocket & gingivitis was assessed
by the periodontal probe & the mobility by using a blunt
instrument & feel with the fingers before & after Vit D
supplementation. Data were processed and analyzed using
computer software SPSS version 26.0.

effect on periodontal bone resorption and after correction of
serum vit D level resulted clinical improvement on
periodontal health.
