Materials and Methods: Sixteen diabetic type II patients with missing teeth were selected according to inclusion and exclusion criteria. Patients were divided randomly into two groups using flip coin method. Group I (test group): 8 patients underwent implant placement for missed tooth with controlled released simvastatin around the implant. Group II (control Group): 8 patients underwent implant placement for missed tooth without controlled released simvastatin around the implant. All patients were followed up clinically and radio-graphically for 6 months postoperatively after implant placement. Results: The use of Simvastatin controlled release gel with delayed dental implants decrease postoperative pain and swelling Conclusion: This research showed that the drug delivery system of controlled release simvastatin improve the repair and healing of bone and soft tissue around dental implant in diabetic type II patients | ||
