Results—The initial search identified 129 publications, reduced to 16 for inclusion. Reported
implant failures rates for diabetic patients ranged from 0–14.3%. The identification and reporting
of glycemic control was insufficient or lacking in 13 of the 16 studies with 11 of these enrolling
only patients deemed as having acceptable glycemic control, limiting interpretation of findings
relative to glycemic control. Three of the 16 studies having interpretable information on glycemic
control failed to demonstrate a significant relationship between glycemic control and implant
failure, with failure rates ranging from 0–2.9%.
