The impact of three-unit fixed posterior metal-ceramic restorations on alveolar bone loss in diabetic patients is of interest. Hence, a total of 72 patients at the Najran University, Faculty of Dentistry were divided into two groups: G1 (36 patients, without three-unit fixed posterior metal-ceramic restorations) and G2 (36 patients, with three-unit fixed posterior metal-ceramic restorations). Clinical evaluations and imaging revealed that G2 exhibited significantly higher plaque index (P.I.), gingival index (G.I.) and alveolar bone loss compared to G1 with (p < 0.05). The results underscore the increased risk of periodontal complications and bone loss in diabetic patients with metal-ceramic restorations. This highlights the critical need for enhanced preventive care, including improved oral hygiene practices, careful selection of restorative materials and tailored periodontal monitoring for diabetic patients. Clinicians should consider these factors to reduce the risk of bone resorption and ensure long-term success in restorative dental treatments for this vulnerable population.
三件套固定后牙金属烤瓷修复体对糖尿病患者牙槽骨丧失的影响备受关注。因此，纳季兰大学牙科学院的72名患者被分为两组：G1组（36名患者，无三件套固定后牙金属烤瓷修复体）和G2组（36名患者，有三件套固定后牙金属烤瓷修复体）。临床评估和影像学检查显示，与G1组相比，G2组的菌斑指数（P.I.）、牙龈指数（G.I.）和牙槽骨丧失显著更高（p < 0.05）。结果强调了患有金属烤瓷修复体的糖尿病患者发生牙周并发症和骨质丧失的风险增加。这突出了加强预防性护理的迫切需求，包括改善口腔卫生习惯、谨慎选择修复材料以及为糖尿病患者量身定制牙周监测。临床医生应考虑这些因素，以降低骨吸收风险，并确保为这一脆弱人群进行的牙齿修复治疗取得长期成功。
