Popis: Vitamin D (VD) is important for the development and maintenance of bone tissue. This study used clinical and radiographic evaluations to analyze whether insufficient VD levels affect the periimplant health of patients with implant-supported prostheses. Data were collected for 33 patients with implant-supported prostheses: probing depth (PD); width of keratinized mucosa (wKM); bleeding index (mBI); periimplant plaque index (mPI); distance from implant to bone crest and VD level using chemiluminescence. After 1 year of implant-supported prosthesis installation, patients with levels under 30 ng/ml at baseline received 50000 IU of VD per week for 8 weeks (post treatment, PT), when clinical and radiographic evaluations were repeated for the control (n=19) and the VD (n=14) groups. Clinical and radiographic results were compared at baseline and at PT. There were differences in PD (p=0.0247) and distance from implant to bone crest (p
