Summary: There are no studies that have compared the clinical and radiographic status around
immediately loaded (IL) and conventional loaded (CL) implants placed in patients with type 2
diabetes mellitus (T2DM). The aim was to compare the clinical and radiographic status around IL and
CL implants placed in T2DM patients. One hundred and eight diabetic patients [55 with IL implants
(Group 1) and 53 with CL implants (Group 2)] were included in this cross-sectional study. All implants
were placed in healed sites in the maxillary and mandibular premolar and molar regions and
supported single restorations. All patients underwent full mouth mechanical debridement
biannually. Haemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) levels, clinical [bleeding on probing (BOP) and probing
depth (PD) ≥ 4 mm] and radiographic [crestal bone loss (CBL)] peri-implant parameters were measured
for both groups at 12- and 24-month follow-up.Group comparisons were performed using the Mann–Whitney U-test (P < 005). The mean age and duration of T2DM in groups 1 and 2 were 506 22 and 518 17 years, and 92 24 and 85 04 years, respectively. At 12- and 24-month follow-up, the mean HbA1c levels in groups 1 and 2 were 54%
(48–55%) and 51% (47–54%) and 51% (47–52%) and 49% (45–52%), respectively. At 12- and 24-
month follow-up, there was no statistically significant difference in peri-implant BOP, PD and CBL in both groups. It was concluded that clinical and radiographic status is comparable around IL and CL implants placed in patients with T2DM.
The contribution of careful case selection, oral hygiene maintenance and glycaemic control is emphasised.
Background: The aim of this study is to compare peri-implant soft tissue parameters (plaque index [PI], bleeding on probing [BOP], and probing depth [PD] ≥4 mm) and crestal bone loss (CBL) around…
