Abstract
The relationship between Class II amalgam restorations and alveolar bone loss among diabetic and non-diabetic patients is evaluated at the Faculty of Dentistry, Najran University, KSA. Hence, we compared type 2 diabetic (n = 32) and non-diabetic patients (n=32) using clinical assessments and imaging techniques. Parameters such as bone loss rate, extent, age, and periodontal condition (plaque index and Gingival Index) were analyzed. Analysis of data shows that diabetic patients on average have higher bone loss.
