Abstract:

BACKGROUND: With the development of the oral cavity planting technology, dental implants have been strongly retained and stabilized, characterized as both aesthetic appearance and functional achievements. Especially, they are accepted by more and more patients due to no damage to adjacent teeth. However, diabetes may not only lead to periodontal disease, but also result in delayed healing of the oral mucosa and alveolar bone as well as infection.
OBJECTIVE: To summarize the relationship between diabetes and peri-implantitis, and focus on the maintenance of dental implants for diabetic patients.
METHODS: A computer retrieval of PubMed and CNKI databases was performed for relevant articles published from January 1980 to January 2016 using the keywords of “diabetes; peri-implantitis” in English and Chinese, respectively.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: We confirm that diabetes is a relative contraindication to implant restoration, but the use of a series of methods that ensure the successful osseointegration, including blood glucose control, strictly prohibiting early loading or multi-implant restoration for single alveolar bone, anti-infection, implant surface modification, can make high success rate for diabetic patients. This brings the gospel to diabetic patients who hope to solve the problem of missing teeth by implant-supported prosthesis.
