Patients with tooth loss must choose between dentures and implants. Pressure points, poor denture retention, diminished chewing performance, impaired taste, and impaired pronunciation are common issues with non-invasive dentures. This representation relies on retention time, or the time an implant is in place. Recent research found over 10,000 implants over 20 years. Implants had 97% one-year survival. After 5 years, it declined to 96% and after 10 years, 93%. This causes function loss, discomfort, and implant detachment from the bone. Peri-implantitis affects 1-47% of patients, according to surveys. Between 0.2 and 63% for implants (Walter, 2021). Proper prophylaxis is vital for implant longevity and patient oral health quality of life. The aim of this work is to retrospectively work out factors in diabetics with dental implants that have proven to be efficient for the prophylaxis of peri-implantitis. In doing so, the existing S3 guidelines will be reviewed for their efficiency and application. Consequently, in the run-up to the work, the following hypotheses were formulated; Hypothesis 1: The worse the blood glucose level is adjusted, the more likely complications in the form of peri-implantitis will also arise in the long term. Hypothesis 2: Networking between the patient's individual specialists (e.g., diabetologist and dentist) can improve the patient's oral health-related quality of life.
