Successful dental implant placement in patients with diabetes mellitus

Keberhasilan pemasangan implant gigi pada pasien penderita diabetes melitus

Abstract

Describe a brief summary of the successful placement of dental implants in patients with diabetes mellitus based on existing li-terature. A literature search was carried out by utilizing data bases from Pubmed and other literature to find research and review articles using the keywords dental implant placement combined with diabetes mellitus. Patients with DM remain relatively con-traindicated for implant therapy, but well-controlled diabetic patients can be considered safe for implant therapy. It is con-cluded that dental implant success in well-controlled diabetic patients with appropriate treatment planning, prophylactic medi-cation and adequate postoperative care appears to be as good as in normal individuals.
