Background: Diabetes mellitus is a chronic disorder of carbohydrate metabolism. The persistent hyperglycemia in diabetic individuals, inhibit osteoblastic activity and alters the response of parathyroid hormone that regulates metabolism of Ca and P, decreases collagen formation during callus formation, induces apoptosis in lining cells of bone and increases osteoclastic activity due to persistent inflammatory response. Hence; the present study was conducted for assessing the correlation of dental implants and diabetes. Materials & methods: A total of 40 diabetic subjects and 40 healthy controls were enrolled. Complete demographic and clinical details of all the subjects were obtained. Clinical examination was carried out. Radiographic examination of all the subjects was done. Dental implant procedures were carried out in all the patients. Follow-up was done and radiographic examination was carried out in all the patients. Prognosis of dental implants in diabetic and non-diabetic patients was evaluated and compared. Results: Success rate of dental implants among diabetic and non-diabetic subjects was 95 percent and 97.5 percent respectively. Non-significant results were obtained while comparing the prognosis of dental implants among diabetic and non-diabetic subjects. Conclusion: Prognosis of dental implants in patients with controlled diabetes is excellent. Key words: Dental, Implants
