  ABSTRACT

Objective: To determine frequency of wound healing in diabetic patients after tooth extraction and to compare the healing process in diabetics with optimal and poor glycemic control.

Study Design: Comparative Observational Cross-sectional Study

Place and Duration: Department of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery, Armed Forces Institute of Dentistry(AFID) Rawalpindi  from 12^th February 2016 to 12^th August 2016.

Methodology: Diabetic patients undergoing surgical tooth extraction and their non-fasting blood glucose levels and updated Glycosylated hemoglobin values were checked pre-operatively. Healing of the extraction sockets were measured on 0 and 14^th day post-operatively by assessing epithelialization rate with periodontal probe from buccal to lingual gingival margins. Epithelialization up to 75% were considered as healed socket .Post stratification chi square test was applied and p value ≤ 0.05 was considered significant.

Results: Among total of 100 patients had extraction, 75% patients achieved wound healing within 14 days. No significant delay of wound healing was observed with poor glycemic control.

Conclusion: Glycemic control has no influence on post-tooth extraction healing in diabetic patients
