Successful Dental Implants in a Diabetic Patient Using Specialized Protocol
Patient Situation
Patient with Type 2 diabetes (HbA1c 8.2) needed 3 implants for missing molars. Previous dentist refused implant treatment due to diabetes. Was managing with a partial denture that was uncomfortable.
Treatment Plan
Coordinated with endocrinologist to optimize blood sugar control. Specialized implant surfaces selected for diabetic healing. Extended healing period (6 months vs standard 3). Close post-operative monitoring with weekly check-ups.
Outcome
All 3 implants successfully integrated. HbA1c improved to 7.1 during treatment period (likely due to better nutrition with implants). Patient received fixed crowns and returned to normal chewing. No complications.
