[Dental implant restoration in 248 patients with periodontal disease and type 2 diabetes].

OBJECTIVE

To discuss the risk and strategy of dental implantation in patients with periodontal disease and type 2 diabetes.

METHODS

Retrospective analysis was performed of dental implantation results in 248 patients with periodontal disease and type 2 diabetes from 2000 to 2008. The survival rate was evaluated and the data statistically analyzed.

RESULTS

The Nobel implant system and CDIC implant system were used. The operation applied flapless and bone expanding techniques. A total of 1190 implants were inserted (333 Nobel Replace implants and 857 CDIC implants). 0.5% (6 implants) lost during the first 6 months healing stage. The 1-year, 5-year and 8-year survival rate were 98.4% (1165/1184), 95.3% (487/511) and 89.2% (91/102) respectively.

CONCLUSIONS

The patients with periodontal disease and type 2 diabetes are suitable for implant treatment with satisfactory results under the conditions that the indication and risk factors are evaluated and controlled strictly.
