Abstract: Odontogenesis is a complex process that involves highly coordinated cellular and molecular events, which culminate in the formation of dental elements.The proper formation and development of the dentition are fundamental processes, and nutrition is of special relevance to the oral tissues.Knowing that dental formation and development begin in the gestational period, the influence of maternal health on possible oral pathologies subsequent to the child can be highlighted.The present study aimed to carry out a systematic review of the literature on the effects of vitamin supplementation on odontogenesis in the gestational and postnatal period.Articles published since 1965 on the relationship of vitamin supplementation on intra and extrauterine odontogenesis were searched through PubMed, Scopus and SciELO electronic databases, using the keywords "Vitamins in odontogenesis, vitamin supplementation in tooth eruption, nutrition and tooth eruption".Malnutrition in general is capable of affecting odontogenesis in all its phases, involving the pre and postnatal periods.Vitamin D is effective when its plasma concentration is not below the reference values in all phases of the individual.In this study, one can observe the functionality of more randomized studies related to the subject, where one can verify the need for vitamins in oral development.
