Threads Exposed After Dental Implants Placed in Diabetic Patient: Prognosis?
Last Updated: Jun 12, 2011
Dr. N asks:
I placed dental implants in this 50-year old well controlled diabetic patient 3 months prior. When the patient returned for the post-operative I noticed that some threads were exposed. How should I manage this case? Because of the diabetes – even though it is well controlled – should I assume there will be a higher chance of the patient developing complications like an increased chance of infection? What measures should I take at this time? Or should I just continue to observe the situation. Should I hold off on restoring the case?
