Assessment of healing dynamics in dental extraction sockets among non-diabetic, prediabetic, and type 2 diabetic patients: a comparative clinical investigation

Diabetes significantly affects post-operative healing in dental extractions, leading to less socket size reduction, higher pain levels, and increased complications. These findings underscore the necessity for specialized post-operative care for diabetic patients, including stringent infection control and pain management strategies. Further research with larger sample sizes and extended follow-up periods is recommended to better understand the long-term impacts of diabetes on oral health.
