Tooth implant

[Jennch]

Hello 

I have to have a tooth implant and requires bone, they said it’s bovine but I’m concerned about any prior gluten contamination if they’ve been grain fed etc

does anyone know if this is safe for a coeliac? Has anyone had this and will it be sterile or could it be a risk?

 

thank you

Welcome to the forum, Jennch!

The issue of getting "glutened" from eating bovine flesh from cows having been fed wheat has come up many times on this forum. The answer is there is no risk to the gluten sensitive consumer of the meat. The protein gluten is completely broken down by the cow's digestive process and is not incorporated into the animal's body cells.

Chances are as a Celiac you have deficient vitamin D. It behooves you to get as much vitamin D in yourself as you can as quick as you can. Ask the surgeons office or just do it on your own. Has anyone ever checked your blood plasma? Vitamin C also helps healing in dental bone grafts.

These patients did not demonstrate any toxicity, and the blood level of 25(OH)D in those taking even 20,000 IU/d was less than 100 ng/mL. https://www.mayoclinicproceedings.org/article/S0025-6196(15)00244-X/pdf

Role of vitamin C in wound healing after dental implant surgery in patients treated with bone grafts and patients with chronic periodontitisUsing vitamin C supplementation improves postoperative healing following dental implant surgery in patients with chronic periodontitis

The Relationship between Vitamin D and Periodontal Pathology Deficiency in vitamin D leads to reduced bone mineral density, osteoporosis, the progression of periodontal diseases and causes resorption to occur in the jawbone. Sufficient intake of vitamin D can decrease the risk of gingivitis and chronic periodontitis, as it has been shown to have immunomodulatory, anti-inflammatory, antiproliferative effects and initiates cell apoptosis. In addition, vitamin D is also important for bone metabolism, alveolar bone resorption and preventing tooth loss. It increases antibacterial defense of gingival epithelial cells and decrease gingival inflammation, improves postoperative wound healing after periodontal surgery and is an important supplement used as prophylaxis in periodontology. 

Possible Roles of Vitamin D in Bone Grafting Bone grafting is one of the most commonly used options to treat large bone defects. Evidence has shown that vitamin D may affect osseointegration, a major component for successful bone grafting. .. oral administration of vitamin D may stimulate bone formation as well as strengthen and support the interaction between bone and implants. ..there is theoretical support in the use of vitamin D after surgery and the use of bone grafts to support the bone structure, relieve pain and increase graft absorption.

Thank you very much for this guidance, I have had my bloods checked and they said my levels were normal but I’ll definitely look into the information above and look at my vitamin d intake especially after this implant. 

thank you again for your guidance

Thank you very much, I feel much safer going into the implant procedure tomorrow!

In vitamin D, most governments and medical accept >29 ng/ml as normal because that is enough to prevent rickets and they maintain there is not enough evidence to raise the RDA. How did we survive if we don't have a homeostasis system that we evolved. In myself when I reached 80 ng/ml it stays there despite taking 10,000 IU a day. I even have stored enough now to go for extended periods without. In my opinion you should start raising your D now, before the surgery so you can build up your immune system to fight off infection and perhaps need fewer antibiotics. Antibiotics kill off the good gut bacteria along with their target bacterial from the surgery.

• A lifeguard study that found vitamin D levels in the 70 ng/mL range up to 100 ng/mL (nature’s level) were associated with no adverse effects;
• Data in patients with breast cancer showing a reduction in the incidence of new cancer with postulated 0 point at 80 ng/mL;
• Colon cancer data showing a reduction in the incidence of new cancer (linear) with postulated 0 point at 75 ng/mL;
• More than 200 polymorphisms of the vitamin D receptor requiring higher D levels to attain same desired outcomes;
• When a patient misses dosing, an attained level of 80 ng/mL gives the patient an additional month of good levels off of vitamin D.
• benefits of vitamin D, but no interventional trial data
• Bruce W. Hollis, PhD, director of pediatric nutritional sciences at the Medical University of South Carolina, Charleston, has conducted vitamin D research for more than 30 years. Fear of vitamin D overdose should not be an area of concern for physicians because in all his years of experience he has yet to see one, he said.
