A study published by the Finnish and Swedish universities teams showed that low levels of vitamin C in the blood plasma may be associated with significant increase in the number of bacterial species involved in periodontal disease.

vitamin D, in turn, is an important supporting role in bone physiology, reflecting directly the phenomenon of osseous integration of dental implants. Laboratory studies on rats, conducted in 2009, showed a deficiency in the integration between the bone and implant surface (osseous integration) in patients with insufficient vitamin d.
