It is well known fact that complete edentulism causes a deficiency of multiple macro and micronutrients. Vitamin D is one of the important micronutrients which needs to be evaluated in such patients. This study was done to evaluate role of micronutrient Vitamin D on the muscle function and muscle tonicity through serum estimations, ultrasonography, electromyography and questioner-based analysis before and after therapy.
