title: Bone healing at a failed implant site in a type II diabetic patient: clinical and histologic evaluations: a case report.
abstract: Placement of endosseous dental implants in diabetic patients may be compromised because of altered wound healing. Additionally there is no established timetable for implant healing in these patients. A case report is presented that evaluates implant healing at the site of a failed implant after its removal. This report documents bone remodeling in a diabetic patient 6 months after removing the failed implant. The prostheses was delivered within 4 months in the upper arch despite the complications during the healing period.
