Use of Dental Implants in Diabetic Patients. Review of Literature - Abstract
Background: Prosthetic restoration with dental implants in diabetic patients has certain features, because in these patients, due to various factors, the
osseointegration processes can be disrupted, in addition, in these groups of patients, the risk of peri-implantitis during functional load is also high.
Objective: The aim of this literature review was to summarize the influence of risk factors on dental implant failure in diabetic patients.
Methods: Search strategy was applied with the aim of identifying as many relevant publications as possible. Data Sources four electronic
databases were searched: PubMed, Scopus, Web of Science, and the Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials.
The key words used for the search were dental implant failure risk factors, osteointegration failure risk factors, the use of implants, Implants in diabetic
patients, use of photofunctionalized implants in at-risk patients. Of the 146 studies identified, screening resulted in a further 54 articles being excluded for
failure to report the specific cause of failure, leaving only 92 studies ultimately included in this review.
Results: Common risk factors for implant failure are related to patient history (radiation therapy, diabetes, periodontitis, use medications): any stage of
the implantation treatment of patients of the risk group, an interdisciplinary approach should be taken, starting with planning and including long-term dynamic
monitoring.
In this review, the author analyzes the prospect of using photofunctionalized implants in patients with diabetic.
Conclusion: Patients with diabetes mellitus have a risk implant complications, but by maintaining glycemic control, supportive periodontal therapy, regular
periodontal maintenance, and the use of photofunctionalized implants, predictable results can be achieved and risks can be reduced.
