Why it matters for dental

Dental professionals treating older adults should note that a correction has been issued to previously published vitamin D and periodontal inflammation findings, which may affect how clinicians interpret serum vitamin D data in periodontal risk assessment.

Key points

  • Journal of Clinical Periodontology published a correction to the Otassha Study paper on serum vitamin D levels and periodontal inflammation.
  • The correction concerns data reported for community-dwelling older Japanese adults.
  • Clinicians who reference the original study for patient counseling should verify the corrected version before applying the findings.
