Diabetes is a disorder in which sugars from your diet are not transported into your cells where they are needed. Over time, the disease causes defects in the smaller blood
vessels. Classic diabetic problems are blindness, loss of circulation in extremities, and proclivity toward angina and heart disease. In dentistry we see
delayed wound healing, periodontal (gum and bone) disease that is less responsive to
aggressive therapy, and greater chance of infection after dental procedures. Most diabetics require gret attention
to their home care and more frequent visits to the hygienist. dental implant surgery has a lower
success rate in diabetics, which must be understood during the treatment planning phase.
