The aims of the study was to correlate the extent of the dimensional alveolar bone changes after tooth extraction and contextual guided bone regeneration with serum vit D levels in 14 patients. Moreover, at 4 months, a small bone sample was collected in order to correlate histological and immunohistochemical parameters of bone with vit D serum levels.
