This review aims to provide an overview of the role of vitamin D in peri-implant and periodontal tissue. Electronic searches were carried out of the PubMed/Medline database. Since this is a narrative review, no systematic search, meta-analysis, or statistical analysis was performed. Vitamin D plays a crucial role in bone balance and metabolism, contributing to reducing early implant failure and improving dental implant osseointegration. Vitamin D deficiency poses a challenge to clinical outcomes, and its supplementation can be an effective alternative to overcome this limitation. The results reported in this article show that vitamin D application on implants can improve the osseointegration, bone-to-implant contact, implant stability, and bone density. Moreover, vitamin D supplementation can increase RUNX2, ALP, OPN, and OCN expression, contributing to periodontal tissue health and its regeneration. Together, findings provide an overview of these topics and present future perspectives for clinical practice in dentistry.
