Abstract:
Diabetes is one of the commonest metabolic syndrome which a clinician will come across during his or her practice. Theoretically it has been implied that the patient presents with poor wound healing and an impaired immune response hence not a very good candidate for elective surgical procedures including dental implants. Diabetes however is not considered an absolute contraindication for implant treatment. This article aims to include data about the recent clinical studies which have been done on diabetic patients and also the surgical protocol which is being followed
