DOES GLYCEMIC CONTROL HAVE A DOSE-RESPONSE RELATIONSHIP WITH IMPLANT OUTCOMES? A COMPREHENSIVE SYSTEMATIC REVIEW AND META-ANALYSIS

To comprehensively evaluate implant survival, clinical and biochemical parameters, as well as possible dose-response relationship with hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) in patients with differing diabetic control. Five electronic databases were searched for studies that compared implant outcomes in patients with differing HbA1c values. Research quality was evaluated using Risk of Bias in Nonrandomized Studies of Interventions (ROBINS-I) tool. Narrative...
