Assessment of prognosis of dental implants in diabetic patients: A clinical study

Abstract

Background: To evaluate the prospects for dental implants in people with diabetes. Materials and Methods: Thirty patients in all were enrolled. The age range was from 40 to 60. Out of 30, 8 men and 22 women were present. HbA1c values were calculated. HbA1c levels and the ratio of problems to implant numbers were shown to be correlated. Data were gathered. Software called SPSS was used to analyses the results. Results: Thirty patients in all were enrolled. In follow-up cases, the stratification levels of HbA1c were investigated. The implant failure rate in 8.0–8.9 was 90.91%, with 2 implants failing. The survival rate in 11.0-11.9 was 75%. Others had a 100% success rate. Conclusion: Patients with diabetes have higher implant survival rates and fewer problems.
