Abstrakt: Objectives: This study aimed to assess the relationship between diabetes mellitus (DM) and the disintegration of the residual alveolar ridge. Methods and Materials: The study sample comprises 144 participants (64 diabetics and 80 controls). Each participant had their orthopantomagram (OPG) taken. Considering the mandibular foreman (MF) and the lower border of mandible in OPGs as landmarks, resorption of residual ridge (RRR) in mandible was evaluated. Results: The resorption in diabetic study participants was 36.9%, while it was 19.1% in the healthy control study participants. The RRR in the diabetic group was greater than the control group (P = 0.0039). Conclusion: The resorption of RRR was greater in diabetic patients. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
