A randomized controlled trial shows improved clinical outcomes in patients with periodontitis using Vitamin D3 gel.

This study aims to evaluate the efficacy of Vitamin D3 gel as an adjunct to nonsurgical periodontal therapy.
Randomized controlled split-mouth trial conducted in 30 patients with Stage II–III periodontitis
Test sites received scaling and root planing with Vitamin D3 gel; control sites received placebo gel
Clinical parameters assessed at baseline, 3 months, and 6 months
Significant reductions in probing pocket depth observed in both groups at 6 months
The test group showed greater improvements in gingival index, sulcus bleeding index, width of keratinized tissue, and probing pocket depth
Improvements in clinical parameters were statistically significant at 6 months, indicating superior outcomes with Vitamin D3 gel

Bawankar et al. (2026) studied this question.
