Calcium metabolism and homeostasis is regulated by a complex interplay of hormones including vitamin D, parathyroid hormone, and calcitonin. Vitamin D promotes calcium absorption in the intestine and calcium resorption from bone. Parathyroid hormone increases calcium resorption from bone and its reabsorption in the kidneys to elevate blood calcium levels. Calcitonin decreases blood calcium levels by inhibiting bone resorption and increasing urinary calcium excretion. Together these hormones tightly control blood calcium concentrations through effects on intestinal absorption, kidney reabsorption and bone remodeling.

INTRODUCTION
Calcium is among the seven principal elements (macroelements).
Of which calcium is the most abundant.
Calcium is an important component of a healthy diet and a mineral necessary for life.
It has role in Orthodontic tooth movement
HISTORY
Latin calx or calcis meaning “live”.
Known as early as first century when ancient Romans prepared lime as calcium oxide.
Isolated in 1808 by Englishman Sir Humphrey Davy through the electrolysis of a mixture of lime (CaO) and mercuric oxide (HgO).
In 1883 Sydney Ringer demonstrated the biological significance of calcium .

ABSORPTION OF CALCIUM
Calcium absorption occurs across the intestinal wall in the blood by 2 major mechanics:
Active transport (transcellularly)
Passive transport ( paracellularly)
Active transport of calcium is dependent on the action of calcitriol and the intestinal vitamin D receptor (VDR).
Absorption of calcium at low and moderate intake levels.
Mostly in duodenum.
Passive diffusion or paracellular uptake involves the movement of calcium between mucosal cells and is dependent on luminal: serosal electrochemical gradients.
Occurs more readily during higher calcium intakes.
Occurs throughout the length of the intestine.
Mean Calcium Absorption (“fractional calcium absorption,” which is the percentage of a given dose of calcium that is absorbed) in men and non-pregnant women—across a wide age range— has been demonstrated to be approximately 25% of calcium intake (Hunt and Johnson, 2007).
FACTORS PROMOTING Ca ABSORPTION
FACTORS INHIBITATING Ca ABSORPTION
EXCRETION
Excess Calcium Level
It can cause constipation.
Increase the risk of kidney stones.
Increased risks of prostate cancer and heart disease.
Orthodontic consideration- It inhibit tooth movement.
Low Calcium Level
Bone breakdown occurs as the body uses its stored calcium to maintain normal biological functions.
Hypocalcemia.
Osteoporosis.
It can also cause rickets.
FUNCTIONS
BONE
Mineralisation of Bones and teeth.
Bone is a mineralized connective tissue.
It contains organic (collagen – protein) and inorganic (mineral) component, HYDROXY APATITE, Ca10(Po4)6 (OH)2.
MUSCLE CONTRACTION
controlled by tropomyosin binding to actin filaments and three types of troponin (troponin I, C, and T).
Troponin C is a calcium-binding protein.
In the normal state, the Ca2+ concentration in the cytoplasm is maintained at low levels. As Ca2+ will not bind to troponin C in this state, the myosin bin
Minerals are inorganic compounds that are required for the body as one of the nutrients.
The inorganic elements (minerals) constitute only small potion of body weight.
Human body needs number of minerals for its functioning.

RESULTS: Overall life span (LS) was 2252.1±1742.5 days and cumulative 5-year survival (5YS) reached 73.2%, 10 years – 64.8%, 20 years – 42.5%. 513 LCP lived more than 5 years (LS=3124.6±1525.6 days), 148 LCP – more than 10 years (LS=5054.4±1504.1 days).199 LCP died because of LC (LS=562.7±374.5 days). 5YS of LCP after bi/lobectomies was significantly superior in comparison with LCP after pneumonectomies (78.1% vs.63.7%, P=0.00001 by log-rank test). AT significantly improved 5YS (66.3% vs. 34.8%) (P=0.00000 by log-rank test) only for LCP with N1-2. Cox modeling displayed that 5YS of LCP significantly depended on: phase transition (PT) early-invasive LC in terms of synergetics, PT N0—N12, cell ratio factors (ratio between cancer cells- CC and blood cells subpopulations), G1-3, histology, glucose, AT, blood cell circuit, prothrombin index, heparin tolerance, recalcification time (P=0.000-0.038). Neural networks, genetic algorithm selection and bootstrap simulation revealed relationships between 5YS and PT early-invasive LC (rank=1), PT N0—N12 (rank=2), thrombocytes/CC (3), erythrocytes/CC (4), eosinophils/CC (5), healthy cells/CC (6), lymphocytes/CC (7), segmented neutrophils/CC (8), stick neutrophils/CC (9), monocytes/CC (10); leucocytes/CC (11). Correct prediction of 5YS was 100% by neural networks computing (area under ROC curve=1.0; error=0.0).
CONCLUSIONS: 5YS of LCP after radical procedures significantly depended on: 1) PT early-invasive cancer; 2) PT N0--N12; 3) cell ratio factors; 4) blood cell circuit; 5) biochemical factors; 6) hemostasis system; 7) AT; 8) LC characteristics; 9) LC cell dynamics; 10) surgery type: lobectomy/pneumonectomy; 11) anthropometric data. Optimal diagnosis and treatment strategies for LC are: 1) screening and early detection of LC; 2) availability of experienced thoracic surgeons because of complexity of radical procedures; 3) aggressive en block surgery and adequate lymph node dissection for completeness; 4) precise prediction; 5) adjuvant chemoimmunoradiotherapy for LCP with unfavorable prognosis.

NVBDCP was launched in 2003-2004 . Vector-Borne Disease: Disease that results from an infection transmitted to humans and other animals by blood-feeding arthropods, such as mosquitoes, ticks, and fleas. Examples of vector-borne diseases include Dengue fever, West Nile Virus, Lyme disease, and malaria.
Ethanol (CH3CH2OH), or beverage alcohol, is a two-carbon alcohol
that is rapidly distributed in the body and brain. Ethanol alters many
neurochemical systems and has rewarding and addictive properties. It
is the oldest recreational drug and likely contributes to more morbidity,
mortality, and public health costs than all illicit drugs combined. The
5th edition of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders
(DSM-5) integrates alcohol abuse and alcohol dependence into a single
disorder called alcohol use disorder (AUD), with mild, moderate,
and severe subclassifications (American Psychiatric Association, 2013).
In the DSM-5, all types of substance abuse and dependence have been
combined into a single substance use disorder (SUD) on a continuum
from mild to severe. A diagnosis of AUD requires that at least two of
the 11 DSM-5 behaviors be present within a 12-month period (mild
AUD: 2–3 criteria; moderate AUD: 4–5 criteria; severe AUD: 6–11 criteria).
The four main behavioral effects of AUD are impaired control over
drinking, negative social consequences, risky use, and altered physiological
effects (tolerance, withdrawal). This chapter presents an overview
of the prevalence and harmful consequences of AUD in the U.S.,
the systemic nature of the disease, neurocircuitry and stages of AUD,
comorbidities, fetal alcohol spectrum disorders, genetic risk factors, and
pharmacotherapies for AUD.

Calcium and its metabolism
2. AS DENTISTS, IT IS VITAL FOR US TO HAVE A
COMPLETE UNDERSTANDING OF THE GENERAL
METABOLISM OF CALCIUM AS IT HELPS IN THE
FORMATION AND MAINTENANCE OF THE TEETH
AND THEIR SUPPORTING BONY STRUCTURE.
INTRODUCTION
4. Disorders of Calcium and Phosphate Metabolism in Horses, Ramiro E. Toribio,
DVM, MS, PhD, Columbus, OH, in The Veterinary clinics of North America.
Equine practice 27(1):129-47 · April 2011
5. • Total blood calcium: 8.5 to 10.3 milligrams
per decilitre (mg/dL)
• Ionized calcium: 4.4 to 5.4 mg/dl
6. 1.Contributes to hardness of bone and is a major
component of teeth.
2. Stabilises the cell membrane and their permeability.
3. Maintenance of excitability of nerve and muscles.
4. Normal skeletal and cardiac muscle contraction.
5. Blood coagulation – Ca++ is required for the conversion of
many inactive enzymes in the coagulation process.
7. Yao SG, Fine JB. The potential role of systemic calcium in
periodontal disease. Dent Open J. 2015; 2(5): 125-131
8. Milk is a good source for calcium. Calcium content of cow
milk is about 100mg/100ml.
Egg, fish &vegetables are medium source for calcium.
Cereals (wheat, rice) contains small amount of calcium.
But cereals are the staple diet in India. Therefore, cereals
form the major source of calcium in Indian diet.
9.
10. Several different kinds of calcium compounds are used in calcium
supplements. Each compound contains varying amounts of the
mineral calcium.
Common calcium supplements may be labeled as:
CALCIUM CARBONATE –Calcium carbonate supplements tends to be
the best value, because they contain the highest amount of elemental
calcium (about 40% by weight). Because calcium carbonate requires
stomach acid for absorption, it's best to take this product with food.
Some well-known calcium carbonate products include Tums®,
Caltrate®, Viactiv Calcium Chews, and Os-Cal.
11. CALCIUM CITRATE- Calcium citrate supplements are
absorbed more easily than calcium carbonate. They can
be taken on an empty stomach and are more readily
absorbed by people who take acid-reducing heartburn
medications. But because calcium citrate is only 21%
calcium, you may need to take more tablets to get your
daily requirement. Calcium citrate products include GNC
Calcimate Plus 800, Citracal® and Solgar®
12. Here are some final tips for choosing and taking calcium
supplements as found in the Harvard Special Health Report
Osteoporosis: A guide to prevention and treatment :
• Avoid products made from unrefined oyster shell, bone meal,
dolomite, or coral, as they may contain lead or other toxic
metals.
• Don't exceed the daily dose recommended by the
manufacturer—doing so increases the risk for side effects.
13. • If you take iron or zinc supplements, tetracycline antibiotics,
or levothyroxine (used to treat hypothyroidism), take them
several hours before or after taking calcium to avoid affects
potential negative interactions.
• Make sure you're also getting enough vitamin D, which
helps your body absorb calcium. If you aren't getting enough
from sunlight, your diet, or your multivitamin, you may want
to choose a calcium supplement that contains vitamin D.
14. If the calcium in diet and from supplements exceeds the
tolerable upper limit, you could increase your risk of
health problems, such as:
Kidney stones
Prostate cancer
Constipation
Calcium buildup in your blood vessels
Impaired absorption of iron andzinc
15. Calcium absorption in the small intestine occurs by both
active & passive diffusion.
Uptake of calcium by active transport predominates in:
duodenum jejunum
Simple diffusion predominatesin: ileum
Most of the ingested calcium is normally eliminated in the
faeces, although the kidneys have the capacity to excrete large
amounts by reducing tubular reabsorption of calcium
16. Vitamin D –Calcitriol induces the synthesis of the carrier protein
(Calbindin) in the intestinal epithelial cells &so facilitates the
absorption of calcium.
Parathyroid hormones increases calcium transport from the
intestinal cells.
Amino acids, especially lysine &arginine increase absorption.
Lactose : enhance passive Ca uptake; its effect is valuable because of
its presence in milk.
17. Phytates — Phytates are substances found in some plant foods that can
bind calcium in the intestine and decrease its absorption.
Oxalates are present in some leafy vegetables which cause formation of
insoluble calcium oxalates.
In malabsorption syndromes , fatty acid is not absorbed , causing
formation of insoluble calcium salt of fatty acid.
High phosphate content will cause precipitation as calcium phosphate.
Absorption is also decreased with increase intake of protein & fiber in
diet.
18. This term is used to describe the amount of Ca++ either
stored or lost by the body over a specific period of time.
When the assimilation of calcium from dietary sources is
less than the metabolic requirements and the obligatory
losses , then calcium is withdrawn from the skeleton to
maintain the critical concentration of the element in the
blood and tissue fluids.
19. Negative Ca2+Balance
Is seen in women during pregnancy or lactation, where
intestinal Ca2+ absorption is less than urinary excretion and the
difference comes from the maternal bones.
Positive Ca2+balance
Is seen in growing children, where intestinal Ca2+absorption
exceeds urinary excretion and the difference is deposited in
the growing bones.
20. Calcium homeostasis is the mechanism by which the
body maintains adequate calcium levels.
Hormonal Control of Calcium Homeostasis -Gregory R. Mundy, Theresa A. Guise. The
American Association for Clinical Chemistry. Vol. 45, Issue 8, August 1999
21. The primary source of
available calcium is
trabecular bone, not cortical
bone.
The sites of trabecular bone
which supply mobile calcium
are the jaws, ribs, bodies of the
vertebrae, and the ends of the
long bones.
22. A significant finding from animal experimentation is that,
when skeletal depletion of calcium occurs as a result of
stimulation of the parathyroid gland, alveolar bone is
affected first, the ribs and the vertebrae are affected
second, and the long bones third.
Prolonged depletion results in disorganization and loss of
trabeculae, followed by cortical remodeling or structural
failure.
Studies of residual ridge resorption. The relationship of dietary calcium and
phosphorus to residual ridge resorption ; Wical and Swoope (JPD July 1974)
23. Acomplex set of interlocking mechanisms takes place in order to
allow man to survive major dietary Ca intake fluctuations. These
mechanisms are mainly controlled by the endocrine systems.
Three main hormones acting at 3 different sites are responsible
for Ca metabolism.
1.Vit. D3 - Bone.
2. Parathormone- Kidney
3. Calcitonin - Intestine
24. Physiologically active form of vitamin D is a
hormone called calcitriol or 1,25–
dihydroxycholecalciferol (1,25 – DHCC).
Increases plasma calcium concentration by
increasing the absorption of calcium from the
gastrointestinal tract.
It also increases bone resorption and enhances
the effects of PTH in the nephron to promote
renal tubular calcium reabsorption.
25. It is a powerful differentiation agent for committed
osteoclast precursors, causing their maturation to form
multinucleated cells that are capable of resorbing bone.
By these actions, 1,25(OH)2D3 provides a supply of calcium
available at bone surfaces for the formation of normal
mineralized bone.
26. • Secretion of PTH is highly dependent on the ionized calcium
concentration and represents a simple negative feedback loop.
• The serum PTH concentration decreases as the serum calcium
concentration increases, although PTH secretion is not entirely
suppressible.
• However, there is a relatively narrow range of regulation of PTH
secretion by extracellular calcium, with little further effect when
total corrected serum calcium is >2.9 mmol/L (11.5 mg/dL) or
<2.1 mmol/L (8.5 mg/dL).
PARATHYROID BONE
27. • The biological actions of PTH include :
(a) stimulation of osteoclastic bone resorption and release
of calcium and phosphate from bone,
(b) stimulation of calcium reabsorption and inhibition of
phosphate reabsorption from the renal tubules, and
(c) stimulation of renal production of 1,25(OH)2D3, which
increases intestinal absorption of calcium and
phosphate.
28. The prime function is to elevate the serum calcium
levels.
Action on kidney – increases Ca reabsorption by
kidney tubules.
Action on bone – decalcification or demineralization of
bone – increase bloodCa levels.
29. • The ionized calcium concentration is the most important
regulator of calcitonin secretion.
• Increases in ionized calcium produce an increase in
calcitonin secretion, and conversely, a fall in the ambient
calcium concentration inhibits calcitonin secretion.
30. Promotes calcification by increasing activity of osteoblasts.
Decreases bone resorption.
Calcitonin directly inhibits osteoclastic bone resorption , and the effect
is rapid, occurring within minutes of administration.
This inhibition is accompanied by the production of cAMP as well as
an increase in cytosolic calcium in the osteoclast and leads to
contraction of the osteoclast cell membrane.
These effects are transient and likely have little role in calcium
homeostasis chronically, although they may be important in short-term
control of calcium loads.
Increases excretion of Ca in urine.
Thus, has a decreasing influence on blood Ca.
31.
32. Estrogen is a hormone that plays an important role in
helping increase calcium absorption.
• Estrogen acts on both osteoclasts and osteoblasts to inhibit
bone breakdown at all stages in life.
• Estrogen may also stimulate bone formation.
33. • After menopause, estrogen levels drop and so may calcium
absorption. The marked decrease in estrogen at menopause is
associated with rapid bone loss.
• Hormone replacement therapy has been shown to increase the
production of vitamin D thus increasing calcium absorption, but
this practice is now controversial because of the risks of
increased breast cancer, strokes, blood clots, and cardiovascular
disease with hormone therapy.
34. Hypercalcemia - Increased level of Ca in the blood.
Symptoms
- Tiredeness
- Loss of appetite.
- Nausea, vomitting.
- Constipation.
-Polyuria.
-Dehydration.
-Loss of muscle tone.
-Decreased excitabilityof muscles and nerves.
IMPAIRMENTS IN BLOOD CALCIUM
35. Conditions in which it occurs
• Hyperparathyroidism.
• Acute osteoporosis.
• Vit. D intoxication.
• Thyrotoxicosis.
36. Hypocalcemia - Decreased levels of Ca in the blood.
Below 8.8mg/dL MILD TREMORS
Less than 7.5mg/dL
TETANY
Symptoms
• Carpopedal spasm.
This occurs in cases of –
Insufficient Ca in the diet.
Hypoparathyroidism.
Insufficient vit. D in the diet.
Increase in calcitonin levels.
HYPOCALCEMIA
37. Osteoporosis is the most common of all bone diseases in adults,
especially in oldage.
It results from diminished organic bone matrix rather than from
poor bone calcification.
In osteoporosis the osteoblastic activity in the bone usually is
less than normal, and consequently the rate of bone osteoid
deposition is depressed.
38. Characterized by demineralization of bone resulting in
progressive loss of bone mass.
Elderly persons (>60 years) of both sexes are at risk.
More predominantly in postmenopausal women.
Etiology – ability to produce calcitriol from vitamin D
is reduced withage.
Results in frequent bone fractures – major cause of
disability.
39. • The spine, hips, ribs, and wrists are common areas of
bone fractures from osteoporosis although
osteoporosis-related fractures can occur in almost any
skeletal bone.
• Osteoporosis can be present without any symptoms for
decades because osteoporosis doesn't cause symptoms
until bone fractures.
40. Therefore, patients may not be aware of their osteoporosis
until they suffer a painful fracture.
The symptom associated with osteoporotic fractures usually
is pain; the location of the pain depends on the location of
the fracture.
Repeated spinal fractures can lead to chronic lower back pain as
well as loss of height and/or curving of the spine due to
collapse of the vertebrae.
41.
42. The condition of osteoporosis results in bone loss in the
maxillae and mandible as well as in other bones of the
body.
By the time osteoporosis is generally diagnosed, 50% to 75%
of the original bone material has been lost from the skeleton.
Increasing calcium intake by means of dairy foods and
supplementation is the method most practiced in the
prevention and treatment of osteoporosis to optimize calcium
balance.
43. The relationship of osteoporosis to alveolar and
residual ridge resportion is of justifiable concern to the
dental profession.
Although generalized bone loss is characteristic of
osteoporosis, the first sign may be alveolar bone loss,
followed by loss in the vertebrae and long bones.
44.
45. The most recent National Institutes of Health (NIH)
proposal calls for 1000 to 1500 mg of daily calcium.
The World Health Organization (WHO)
recommendation is only 400 to 500 mg of
calcium/day.
Calcium intake in most populations around the world
is 300 to 500 mg/day without any evidence of
osteoporosis.
46. The diets of subjects with minimal bone resorption
were compared with the diets of subjects with severe
alveolar destruction.
The results indicate a positive correlation among low
calcium intake, and severe ridge resorption.
47. CALCIUM INTAKE IN RELATION TO PERIODONTAL
DISEASE
• The Danish Monica study (Monitoring Trends and Determinants in
Cardiovascular Disease) is a prospective observational study from
1982-1983 to 1993-1994 conducted under the auspices of the World
Health Organization (WHO) drawing from men and women (30-60
years old) living in Copenhagen County drawn from the National
Central Person Registry (CPR).
48. (MONICA cohort study)
• They found that dairy calcium intake was associated with
a decreased risk of tooth loss in both men and women.
• In men this was still true after several adjustments such as
age, education, smoking, alcohol, but in women it was
only statistically significant after an adjustment for
Lactobacillus count.
49. • Another study by these researchers was a cross-sectional study
looking to see whether calcium intakes from dairy and non-dairy
sources and absolute intakes of various dairy products were
associated with periodontitis.
• They found that intakes of calcium and dairy foods were significantly
and inversely associated with periodontitis while intakes of non-dairy
calcium were not associated with periodontitis.
• These findings agree with earlier studies by Al-Zahrani MS and
Shimazaki Y et al.
50. • Al-Zahrani MS found that intakes of dairy foods was inversely and
significantly associated with periodontitis where periodontitis was
defined as pocket depth ≥4 mm and attachment loss ≥3 mm.
• Shimazaki Y, et al. found that an increased intake of lactic
acid/fermented foods was significantly associated with lesser
mean pocket depth and attachment loss but no significant
associations were found with intakes of cheese, milk and other
dairy foods
51. • A cross-sectional study found that higher intakes of calcium
and dairy servings are associated with lower plaque scores
when vitamin D intakes are ≥6.8 μg/d.
• They believe that the better vitamin D intakes facilitate
beneficial effects of higher calcium intakes, most likely by the
enhancement of calcium absorption

Heitmann BL. Intakes of calcium, vitamin D, and dairy servings and dental
plaque in older Danish adults. Nutrition Journal. 2013; 12: 61-65
52. • This group of investigators performed another study investigating
whether intakes of calcium, vitamin D, casein and whey were
associated with periodontitis and the possibilities of interactions
between them in relation to periodontitis.

Heitmann BL. Calcium, vitamin D, casein and whey protein intakes and
periodontitis among Danish adults. Public Health Nutrition. 2015; (4):
53. • They found that after adjusting for age, gender, education,
smoking, sucrose intake, alcohol consumption, number of teeth,
daily brushing, regular visits to the dentist and chronic illness that
higher intakes of calcium, whey protein and casein were
individually associated with a lower occurrence of severe
periodontitis, but vitamin D intake was not directly associated
with periodontitis
54. • A longitudinal study in Japan among the elderly, found a lower
serum calcium/magnesium (Ca/Mg) ratio was significantly
associated with periodontal disease progression in smokers over 6
years.
• They had looked both into serum calcium and the Ca/Mg ratio. The
serum calcium was significantly lower in smokers compared to the
non-smokers. A high Ca/Mg ratio was significantly associated with
fewer periodontal disease events

magnesium in the serum and longitudinal periodontal progression in
Japanese elderly smokers. J Clin Periodontol. 2011; (38): 992-997
55. • A Study from India looked for any influence of calcium and
vitamin D supplementation in periodontitis treatment
outcome in otherwise healthy subjects whose serum
calcium and vitamin D levels are in the normal range.

supplementation in the management of periodontitis. J Clin Diagn Res. 2015;

56. • It was a non-randomized clinical trial, where both groups received full
mouth prophylaxis, subgingival scaling, root planning and curettage and
then one group also received 500 mg calcium and 250 IU vitamin D
supplementation for 3 months.
• Both groups showed significant change in the periodontal parameters and
bone density after 3 months with highly significant results for the
supplementation group.
• These results strongly recommend that calcium and vitamin D can be given
as an adjunct to scaling and root planning for better periodontal outcomes
and that vitamin D and calcium supplementation has a got a slight positive
effect in the periodontal treatment.
57. • Calcium in the human bodies found in the bones and
teeth. Periodontal disease affects the alveolar bone that
supports the teeth.
• The disease is a complex relationship between host,
bacterial, behavioral and environmental factors.
• The intake of food and nutrients, such as calcium has
been shown to play a role in this complex relationship
CONCLUSION
The vitamin D precursor (previtamin D3) is either ingested in the diet or synthesized in the skin from 7-dehydrocholesterol through exposure to sunlight (60). Hydroxylation occurs in the liver at the C-25 position to form 25-hydroxyvitamin D, the substrate for the more potent metabolite, 1,25(OH)2D3. 25-Hydroxyvitamin D is hydroxylated at the C-1 position in the kidney by 1∀-hydroxylase, a complex cytochrome P450 mitochondrial enzyme system located in the proximal nephron (61), to form 1,25(OH)2D3
