Résumé
All diabetic patients treated with Brånemark osseointegrated implants in the Implant Prosthodontic Unit of the Faculty of Dentistry, University of Toronto were identified by way of a retrospective chart survey. Each of these patients was matched to two control subjects by age, sex, location of implants (jaw and zone), type of prosthetic restoration, opposing arch and duration of edentulism. Additional factors including the presence of other medical conditions, smoking habits, medication use, and bone quality and quantity of the jaw treated with implants were controlled for by utilising logistic and linear regression. Diabetic patients had no increased risk of implant failure, lost more bone in year one of loading, had less soft tissue complications, had a similar numbers of prosthodontic complications and reported more paresthesia and less post operative pain compared to matched non-diabetic controls. These results suggest that non-brittle diabetic patients should be considered for treatment with implant supported prostheses.
