Assessment of healing dynamics in dental extraction sockets among non-diabetic, prediabetic, and type 2 diabetic patients: a comparative clinical investigation.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Diabetes mellitus is a chronic metabolic disorder characterized by persistent hyperglycaemia, affecting various metabolic processes and leading to multiple complications, particularly in wound healing. This study aims to evaluate the impact of diabetes on the healing of extraction sockets in non-diabetic, prediabetic, and type 2 diabetic patients in Saudi Arabia.

Methodology

A prospective observational study was conducted with 72 participants who were divided equally (n = 24 for each group) into three groups, viz. non-diabetic, prediabetic, and diabetic groups based on glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c) and random blood glucose levels. Tooth extractions were performed by an experienced maxillofacial surgeon. Healing outcomes were assessed by measuring extra
