Abstract:
This article contextualizes the recent study by Li et al within the broader challenge of achieving dental implant success in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). The original article by Li et al provides a thorough retrospective analysis of 146 T2DM patients undergoing dental implant surgery, highlighting key risk factors for peri-implantitis (PI), including elevated glycosylated hemoglobin, smoking, poor oral hygiene, and anterior implant placement. The study also identifies tooth-brushing duration ≥ 3 minutes as a protective factor. We emphasize the critical need for personalized risk assessment and evidence-based clinical protocols that integrate glycemic control, behavioral modifications, and emerging monitoring strategies to mitigate PI risk and enhance long-term outcomes in this high-risk population.
