Introduction: Diabetes mellitus (DM) is disease resulting in high levels of blood sugar. As a general disease it affects the whole organism through the mechanisms of impaired insulin secretion, insulin resistance or both. However, dental practitioners need to perform invasive treatment in these patients in order to provide accurate dental treatment.
Aim: The aim of this publication is to track the success rate of invasive treatment in diabetics.
Materials and Methods: During the research 125 invasive dental procedures were done on males and females in the age group 45–84 years.
Results: We achieved 98% success rate.
Conclusion: Invasive dental treatment, including dental implants and surgeries, can be done in patients with DM with good and moderate control of the disease. It is mandatory to follow the protocols and the contemporary guidelines even more strictly than in the group of healthy patients.
