Fraza do cytowania: Raczkowski M., Michalak F. Role of vitamin D in periodontal diseases — review. Dental Forum. 2019;XLVII(1):41–44. DOI: https://doi.org/10.20883/df.2019.6.

The formation of periodontal disease depends on many factors. According to researches, one of them is vitamin D, which affects the calcium‑phosphate metabolism, the immune system and activates numerous genes. The receptor polymorphism for this vitamin can affect the development of periodontitis. Vitamin D supplementation, especially for people living in temperate climates, may be one of the factors that contribute to maintaining periodontal health.

Key words: vitamin D, periodontal diseases.
