Abstract

Poor control of diabetes, improper diet, and lack of oral and dental hygiene may be effective in causing changes in the oral cavity. Oral and dental complications of diabetes include gingival enlargement, periodontitis, dental caries, dry mouth, and halitosis. Given the above, this study was conducted with the aim of reporting the clinical characteristics and signs of 9 patients who exhibited hypoglycemic symptoms during implant placement. In this study, the clinical characteristics of 9 patients who presented for dental services, including implant placement, were reported. It was observed that all 9 patients had a history of diabetes, and during the provision of dental services, they experienced a drop-in blood sugar ranging from mild to severe degrees, and the necessary treatment measures were performed for all of them. Performing dental services, especially the surgical and stressful stages of implantation, affects the glycemic control status in diabetic patients and severely increases the risk of hypoglycemia.
