Summary: | Background
The long‐term success and survival of dental implants type‐2 diabetic subjects is debatable.
Purpose
The present 6 years' follow‐up prospective clinical study compared the peri‐implant soft tissue status and crestal bone loss (CBL) around adjacent implants placed among type‐2 diabetic and nondiabetic subjects.
Materials and Methods
Type‐2 diabetic (Group‐1) and nondiabetic individuals (Group‐2) with adjacent dental implants were included. Hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) levels were recorded; and a questionnaire was used to collect demographic information. Information regarding implant dimensions, duration in function, loading protocol, and type of restoration was recorded. Peri‐implant bleeding‐on‐probing (BOP), plaque index (PI), probing depth (PD), and mesial and distal CBL were measured. P |
