Abstract

Implants are the ideal treatment method for the Patients with missing tooth, as it is not only very much perfect aesthetically but also anchors into the bone directly and provides a strong stability. Diabetes Mellitus is classified as one of the crucial risk factors while deciding about Implant placement, as these Patients experience a delayed wound healing process, Osseointegration being very important part of Implant treatment procedure, is tremendously affected due to delayed wound healing leading to failure of Implant. But this condition may not be similar for the Patients with controlled Diabetes. Thus, we need to focus on preventive strategies as well as various selection criteria while working with Implant in Diabetic Patients.
