Risk to the eyes of a dental problem

Diabetes and dental implant

This article has a purely informative role. It aims to inform people about the risk and to list the most frequent diseases. The diseases mentioned above are by no means a generality and are a summary of various medical articles. The symptoms listed should not be a source of remote diagnosis and in no way replace a visit to your doctor or dentist

Diabetes and periodontitis

Diabetes (type 1, type 2, gestational, type MODY etc.) is a chronic disease which cannot be cured, growing in industrialized countries and which is characterized by chronic hyperglycemia (due to lack of / decrease in insulin) Hyperglycemia is harmful to the body and can lead to complications that can affect all organs (kidneys, heart, eye, diabetic foot, nerves, and teeth) Can be controlled with diet strict diet, regular physical activity combined with daily medication. Blood sugar and glycated hemoglobin (HbA1) control should also be carried out.

The need for rigorous oral hygiene is even more important in people with diabetes, who are more at risk of developing periodontal disease. As said before, the healthy tooth is retained in the bone by periodontal tissue. bacteria, from food, saliva accumulate there, causing the formation of dental plaque and which, without treatment, continues with the disintegration of the neighboring bone and the loosening of the neighboring teeth. Why diabetics are more affected by infections?

  • They make more dental plaques
  • Hyperglycemia changes oral flora, collagen tissue, soft tissue vascularization

Prevent periodontitis in people with diabetes

  • Diabetes control
  • Rigorous oral hygiene
  • Primary prevention dental care (caries, tartar, etc.) and secondary prevention (management periodontal pockets if they have not reached stage 5).

How to recognize the symptoms?

  • Loose teeth
  • Bleeding gums when chewing or brushing teeth

Treating periodontitis in people with diabetes

  • By periodontal treatment when it has not reached stage 5
  • By extracting teeth and fitting a removable prosthesis
  • By extracting the affected teeth and placing a bridge if there are enough healthy teeth left to serve as an abutment
  • By placing BAX basal implants on which bacteria cannot settle.

Dental implant in people with diabetes

Dental implants and diabetes, in general, do not mix well. Indeed, people during the healing process and osseointegration of implants, people with diabetes are more prone to develop infections. The risk of rejection of traditional dental implants is, therefore, higher in people with diabetes for whom basal implants will be recommended.

BAX basal implant for diabetics

Since basal implants (BAx) are smooth and fixed in the cortical bone, the risk of peri-implantitis (rejection) is almost zero. According to studies by the International Implant Foundation carried out on nearly 10,000 patients, the success rate with BAX basal dental implants is the same for diabetic and non-diabetic patients. In all cases, it will be necessary to take certain precautions before having dental implants fitted. The stabilization of diabetes, whatever its type, will be strongly recommended. Even if you have had basal implants, other oral problems may be encountered.

What type of diabetes is most dangerous for dental implants?

Type I diabetes is the most dangerous when it comes to placing dental implants. It will be recommended to stabilize it before proceeding with dental implants. However, the Anveli system can be used to treat dental implants. patients who are not yet stabilized. Contact our team of experts for more information.
