Dental Implants in Patients With Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus: A Clinical Study

The impact of diabetes on dental implant failure: a systematic review and meta-analysis

“…Five articles did not report whether participants who smoked were included. 3,10,26,30,32 The monitoring period in the studies ranged from 3 to 204 months, with an average of 45.1 months.…”

“…9,11,[19][20][21][22][23][24] Thus, 14 studies published between 2000 and 2015 were included in this systematic review. 3,10,[25][26][27][28][29][30][31][32][33][34][35][36] The article search and selection process is shown in Fig. 1.…”

“…[5][6][7] Furthermore, diabetic patients may have a reduced immune response, which increases the possibility of post-surgical infection. 8 In studies evaluating the success or survival of dental implants in diabetic volunteers, [9][10][11] a higher rate of early-onset failures has been observed compared to late-onset failures. Chronic hyperglycaemia can affect the synthesis of osteoblasts and stimulate increased osteoclast function.…”

Tilted Implant Concept for Full Mouth Immediate Loading Restoration

“…Out of 11 patients, three patients were controlled diabetic (HbA1c <68%) while two patients were uncontrolled diabetics (HbA1c >10%) 13,14 and rest were nondiabetic. All 16 patients were above the age of 40 years with the mean age value of 56 years.…”

Sinus Bone Graft - Where and Where Not to be? - A Review

“…In the maxilla (and hence in bone-grafted sinuses) where trabecular bone predominates, one would expect an increased risk for implant failure. Several studies have specifically addressed the failure rate of dental implants in the diabetic patient, [69][70][71][72] but little information is available for diabetes and the sinus graft procedure. Definitive guidelines about implant treatment for diabetic patients have not been established, but studies do indicate that diabetes must remain a relative contraindication to implant placement.…”
