title: [Tooth extraction on diabetic patients].
abstract: Performing extractions on diabetic patients is a complicated problem, which is connected with the type of diabetes and the various complications related to this disease. The main concern is to avoid acute incidents hyper or sub-glycemic comas during the operation and to secure a smooth post- operational course, namely an undisturbed post- extracture healing. In this study, 80 diabetic patients who came for extractions to the escodental department were divided into two categories: patients suffering from diabetes type I and patients suffering from diabetes type II. On the arrival of all patients, the contents of glycose in blood and acetone in urine were measured, and depending on the respective results patients of the first category were classified into three groups and patients of the second category were classified into four groups. Along with the normal measures usually taken for diabetic patients, specific instructions were given for the groups of each category, in order to prevent hyper- or sub-glycaminate incidents, during the operation. Proper instructions were further given for those patients, who had history chronical complications from diabetes. Extractions based on th method of classifying the patients into the above mentioned categories and groups have presented no complications whatever in our study.
