Abstract

The present study was conducted for assessing prognosis of dental implants in diabetic patients. Materials & methods: 50 patients with well-controlled diabetes and 50 healthy controls made up the entire sample. A Performa was created, and every patient was given a thorough clinical profile. All of the subjects underwent extensive oral examination. All subjects' baseline hemodynamic and biochemical profiles were evaluated. Only those patients who needed prosthetic rehabilitation due to a missing mandibular first molar were included. All of the subjects had dental implant therapy. All of the individuals underwent a radiological and clinical evaluation at the 6-month mark to determine their prognosis. Results: Mean age of the patients of the controlled diabetic group and non-diabetic group was 46.3 years and 50.4 years respectively. Majority of the subjects of both the study groups was males. Among the controlled diabetic group, success of dental implant therapy was seen in 94 percent of the patients while among the control group, success of dental implant therapy was seen in 96 percent of the patients. Non-significant results were obtained while comparing the prognosis of dental implant therapy among the two study groups. Conclusion: Dental implant therapy for diabetic patients showed a great prognosis under managed glycemic circumstances.
