Patients were selected from the out-patients clinic of Diabetes Institute, Cairo. They were undergoing simple extraction of single rooted mandibular tooth. Patients were divided into three groups according to their diabetic condition, depending on Glycated hemoglobin level Group I (well controlled IDDM). Group II (Moderately well controlled IIDM) and Group III (poorly controlled IDDM). Simple atraumatic extraction was done and immediate standardized periapical X-ray film was taken as a base record. PAtients were recalled at 1,2,4 and 6 months for another serial standardized periapical film. Films were scanned using flat full colour scanner with transparent adaptor by " Grey Level Dector programme. Grey level at area of interest was recorded. The results showed that healing of post extraction alveolar bone of well controlled IDDM was highly significantly faster that other groups as detected by the outcome of bone density changes in the three experimental groups. Also Grey scale level as an advanced tool can be considered as an accurate and convenient method for analyzing alveolar bony changes.  ISSN : 0  Journal Name : The New Egytian Journal of Medicine  Volume : 15  Issue Number : 2  Publishing Year : 1996 AH 1996 AD  Article Type : Article  Added Date : Tuesday, December 11, 2007  Researchers Researcher Name (Arabic) Researcher Name (English) Researcher Type Dr Grade Email حكيم السيد Al-Sayed, Hakem Investigator Doctorate   وائل شوكت Shawkat, Weal Researcher Doctorate   Files File Name Type Description  Post Extraction Alveolar Bone Healing.pdf pdf   Back To Researches Page
