Abstract

Aim: This study aims to clinically evaluate whether the local administration of vitamin D3 enhances postorthodontic tooth stability over a period of 3 months immediately after debonding. Materials and methods: Patients aged 15–30 years with dental malocclusion and moderate crowding in the lower arch (Little's irregularity score of 4–6) were selected and randomly split into the experimental and the control groups. After complete alignment and leveling, vitamin D3 injection was delivered to the experimental group and the control group was given a placebo injection with 0.9% normal saline mixed with 2% lignocaine. Fourteen days after the injection, the lower archwires were removed from the control and experimental groups. Results: Relapse was significantly higher in control than in the experimental group at all-time intervals. Statistically significant values of relapse were observed at T2 and T3 intervals between the two groups, with greater relapse in the control group than in the experimental group. Inter-canine width, arch perimeter, and intermolar width showed mild changes over 3-month period, but there were no significant differences between the two groups. Conclusion: Relapse was seen in both the control and the experimental in the first 4 weeks of the study. Still, the control group showed a greater relapse rate in the following 8th week and 12th week when compared to the experimental group.
