Discussion

Comparative study shows significant link between serum vitamin D levels and periodontitis severity.

Deficient serum vitamin D3 levels were found in 76.3% of patients with periodontitis, indicating a strong link.
Mean serum vitamin D3 levels in periodontitis patients were 29.07 ng/ml, significantly lower than healthy controls.
A comparative cross-sectional study assessed vitamin D levels in 38 cases of periodontitis and matched healthy subjects.
The significant association between low serum vitamin D levels and periodontitis highlights the need for further research.
