Sub-optimal glycemic control remains a major barrier to dental implant therapy for diabetes patients. With over 25 million individuals affected in the US, understanding the relationship between glycemic control and implant-related outcomes becomes critical to the development of clinical guidelines for the care of these patients. While emerging evidence demonstrates promise for implant osseointegration independent of glycemic levels, there remains no clear evidence of the effects of glycemic control for implant-related complications under long-term function.
