Background: The present study was conducted for assessing the prognosis of dental implants among diabetic and non-diabetic patients. Materials & methods: A total of 50 diabetic patients and 50 non-diabetic subjects were enrolled. Preoperative radiographic assessment of all the patients was done. All the subjects underwent dental implant therapy under local anaesthesia and under ideal aseptic conditions. Follow-up was done and radiographic evaluation of all the patients was done after one year. Presence of radiographic bone loss was considered as failure of dental implant therapy. Assessment of results were done using SPSS software. Results: Among subjects of diabetic and non-diabetic group, success rate was 94 percent and 96 percent respectively. Non-significant results were obtained while comparing the outcome among diabetic and non-diabetic subjects. Conclusion: Under controlled diabetic conditions, dental implants have excellent prognosis.
