Funding Agency NIH Title Diabetes: Implant Integration, Success, and Benefit Status Active Period 12/2006 - 12/2018 Role Co-Principal Investigator Grant Detail Principal Investigator in an RO1 NIH Research Project working with placing implant supported dentures in diabetic patients. This study focuses on providing dental implants for support of mandibular dentures. Our goal is to contribute to the quality of life for our diabetic patients giving them the opportunity to receive this standard of dental care. As of May 2012, we have delivered dentures to 134 patients. Input from the participants supports our hypothesis that their quality of life has improved radically. This study will be a cohort study of poor glycemic control in type 2 Diabetes. Patients will show that it is directly related correlation to short-term impairments and delays in implant integration, but does not impair longer-term implant integration.

we will be working with the medical and pharmacy students while conducting the study. Dental students and Dental hygiene student officers plan to collaborate with the medical and pharmacy students at SAMMinistries by working together when treating or screening patients at the clinic. We plan to emphasize the impact nutrition has on patients oral cavity and overall health. We have medical consults/referrals sent to the medical clinic when patients have prehypertension/ hypertension and/or diabetes.
The vicinity of both dental and medical clinics provides a unique environment where interdisciplinary collaboration can exist between dental and medical professionals. The timeline of the intended activity of the UT Health Science Center of San Antonio dental team (Inter-professional: dental, dental hygiene, medical and pharmacy students) is to provide medical and dental care and oral health education to the SAMM TLLC community beginning this year and continuing for as long as possible. The medical student and dental student officers will be involved in the service-learning project. Every month UTHSCSA faculty, dental students and dental hygiene students volunteer three times a month to provide dental screenings, urgent care and periodontics care. The medical and pharmacy students rotate every Wednesday to the clinic at SAMMinistries as well.
