**Evaluating the osteogenic potential of insulin-like growth factor-1 microspheres on osteoblastic activity around dental implants in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus using bone scintigraphy: A split-mouth randomized controlled trial
Dental implants are susceptible to early failure when placed in patients diagnosed with type 2 diabetes mellitus. The osteoinductive potential of insulin-like growth factor-1 (IGF-1) has been widely investigated in animals with type 2 diabetes mellitus, but studies investigating the osteoinductive potential of IGF-1 around dental implants in patients diagnosed with type 2 diabetes mellitus are lacking.
