DENTAL IMPLANT TREATMENT IN DIABETES MELLITUS (DM) PATIENTS: REVIEW

Abstract

With the development of progressive views on dental restoration and replacement, the clinical approach to seemingly hopeless clinical situations has changed radically, and those patients who would previously be considered extremely difficult are effectively provided with dental care. Diabetes mellitus (DM) is a global problem worldwide. The negative impact of the disease on bone metabolism raises some concerns about the long-term survival of dental implants in diabetic patients. Diabetes mellitus is one of the most significant somatic diseases that determine the protocol for managing dental patients and the long-term functioning of dental implantation. Protocols for the management of patients with diabetes mellitus have been developed. This article reviews the data of dental implantation in patients with diabetes mellitus. The following databases were included in a systematic search of the relevant literature: PubMed, Embase, AWMF Online, National Guidelines Clearinghouse, International Guidelines Network, and The Cochrane Library. The following search terms were used: dental implants and diabetes, diabetes and implant survival, whether diabetes is a risk factor for dental implants, peri-implantitis and diabetes. A total of 58 articles that met the inclusion criteria for this systematic review were included. The results of a systematic review showed that diabetes mellitus has an impact on implant survival rates compared with patients without diabetes.
