Diabetes mellitus (DM) has several complications. Delayed wound healing, microvascular disease and an impaired response to infections are complications that can have a direct bearing on dental implant therapy. This paper studies the awareness of the population with regard to the effect of DM on dental implant treatment.
A validated, close-ended questionnaire was distributed to 506 randomly selected mall-goers in the city of Jeddah. Responses were coded and entered into spreadsheet software (SPSS, IBM). The frequency distribution of the responses was calculated, and inferences were drawn.
The study revealed that the majority of the sample were females (62.8%), did not have diabetes (80.4%) and reported a positive family history of diabetes (87.4%). Most of the respondents (56%) believed that uncontrolled diabetes can lead to implant loss and that diabetes affects the healing process (91.6%). Many patients (42%) responded that diabetes could be treated with dental implants if the blood sugar level was controlled.
The studied sample revealed a satisfactory level of awareness regarding the association of diabetes and oral hygiene in dental implant therapy. However, there is less than adequate knowledge about the effects of diabetes on dental implants, as the majority of the respondents believe that only controlled diabetics can avail dental implant treatment.
糖尿病（DM）有多种并发症。伤口愈合延迟、微血管疾病以及对感染的反应受损是可能直接影响牙种植治疗的并发症。本文研究了人群对糖尿病对牙种植治疗影响的认知情况。
向吉达市随机抽取的506名商场顾客发放一份经过验证的封闭式问卷。对回答进行编码并录入电子表格软件（SPSS，IBM）。计算回答的频率分布并得出推论。
研究表明，样本中的大多数为女性（62.8%），没有糖尿病（80.4%），且报告有糖尿病家族史（87.4%）。大多数受访者（56%）认为未控制的糖尿病会导致种植体脱落，并且糖尿病会影响愈合过程（91.6%）。许多患者（42%）回答说，如果血糖水平得到控制，糖尿病患者可以接受牙种植治疗。
所研究的样本显示出对糖尿病与牙种植治疗中口腔卫生关联的认知水平令人满意。然而，对于糖尿病对牙种植体的影响，了解并不充分，因为大多数受访者认为只有血糖得到控制的糖尿病患者才能接受牙种植治疗。
