summary
4. Definition
Vitamins may be regarded as organic compounds
required in the diet in small amounts to perform
specific biological functions for normal maintenance
of optimum growth and health of organism.
7. Vitamin C
It is also called as ascorbic acid.
properties
Its highest concentration is seen in pituitary,
adenoids, eye and WBC.
The acidic properties are due to enolic hydroxyl
group.
Dehydroascorbic and ascorbic acid are its active
form.
8. Absorption and excretion
Absorption of ascorbic acid is takes place in the
upper part of small intestine and it is excreted by
kidney through urine.
12. Oral manifestation
Scurvy
Prolonged deficiency of vit.c may result in scurvy.
It is characterised by weakened blood vessels
particularly micro vessels having least muscular
support.
13.
14. Oral manifestations
Site –gingival and periodontal region.
Scurvy bud-interdental and marginal gingiva is bright red
swollen, smooth, shiny surface producing an appearance
known as scurvy bud.
Breath-typical fetid breath of patient
With fusospirochetal stomatitis
• In severe cases haemorrhage and
• Swelling of periodontal membrane
With loss of bone can occur leading
To loosening of teeth
15.
16. Capillary fragility test
The cuff of sphygmomanometer is placed around the arm.
It is inflated to a pressure approximately midway between the
subject's systolic and diastolic pressure (perhaps 100 mm Hg)
and left in place for four to six minutes
In a positive test, numerous small red spots appear in the skin
below the cuff; these are petechial haemorrhages arising from
capillary fragility.
• Bood plasma levels of vit.c
Diagnosis
17. Treatment
Scurvy is prevented by a diet rich in ascorbic acid;
citrus fruits and juices are excellent sources.
The administration of orange juice or tomato juice
daily will quickly produce healing but ascorbic acid is
preferable.
The daily therapeutic dose is 100-200 mg orally or
parenterally.
20. THIAMINE
Anti-beriberi or antineuritic vitamin.
It is vitamin for calm nerves also known as
ANEURIN.

between minimal ridge resorption and a
combination of high calcium intake and high
calcium-phosphorus ratio in the diet.

69. Dose
approximately 300 mg. is generally considered
adequate. Newborn infants need more.
Best Natural Sources:
Yoghurt, egg yolk, sunflower oil, soyabean oil, fish
liver oils, leafy green vegetables
71. Summary
Vitamins are essential for the normal growth and
development of a multicellular organism.
These nutrients facilitate the chemical reactions that
produce among other things, skin, bone, and
muscle.
If there is serious deficiency in one or more of these
nutrients, a child may develop a deficiency disease.
Even minor deficiencies may cause permanent
damage
72. For the most part, vitamins are obtained with food,
but a few are obtained by other means.
Once growth and development are completed,
vitamins remain essential nutrients for the healthy
maintenance of the cells, tissues, and organs that
make up a multicellular organism; they also enable a
multicellular life form to efficiently use chemical
energy provided by food it eats, and to help process
the proteins, carbohydrates, and fats required for
respiration
