Diabetes mellitus (DM) poses significant challenges in the context of dental implants due to its potential impact on oral health and healing processes. Individuals with diabetes are more prone to complications such as delayed wound healing, increased risk of infection, and impaired bone metabolism, all of which can adversely affect the success of dental implant procedures. Hyperglycemia in diabetes can compromise the immune response, making patients more susceptible to infections around implant sites. Moreover, poorly controlled diabetes can lead to reduced bone density and impaired osseointegration, the process by which implants fuse with the jawbone. Management of diabetes, including glycemic control and comprehensive pre-operative assessment, is crucial to minimize these risks. Close collaboration between dental professionals and endocrinologists is recommended to optimize outcomes for patients with diabetes undergoing dental implant treatment.
