Summary
This study tests whether replacing missing back teeth with dental implants can help people with uncontrolled type 2 diabetes improve their blood sugar levels. The idea is that better chewing leads to healthier eating, which may lower HbA1c. 140 adults will either get implants plus standard diabetes care or standard care alone, and be followed for 9 months.
