Background: This study had been carried out to evaluate the prognosis of dental implants in subjects suffering from diabetes
mellitus.
Material and methods: A total of 100 individuals participated in the study, which was divided into two distinct groups. The
first group comprised 50 healthy participants, while the second group consisted of 50 individuals diagnosed with diabetes.
The study focused on patients who had partially missing maxillary and/or mandibular arches and subsequently received oral
rehabilitation through dental implants. Relevant medical histories, dental radiographs, and clinical records were collected for
these patients. The classification into healthy and diabetic groups was based on the evaluation of glycated haemoglobin
(HbA1c) levels at the time of implant placement. According to the criteria established by the American Diabetes Association
(ADA), individuals with HbA1c levels below 6.5% are categorized as non-diabetic (healthy), whereas those with levels
exceeding 6.5% are classified as diabetic.
Results: There were 75 females and 25 males in this study. The success rate of dental implants in the control group as well
as case group was 96% and 72%, accordingly. Most of the implants had been placed in the mandible (85%) as compared to
maxilla (15%).
Conclusion: The findings of this study indicate that individuals with diabetes mellitus have a favourable prognosis regarding
dental implants.
