- Abstract
Diabetic patients increase their body's susceptibility to infection and diabetes is a risk factor for periodontal diseases and oral infection. Although many studies showed the mechanism of impaired wound healing in diabetes, there are still arguments to shed light on what kind of factors, including local and systemic factors are involved in the protracted wound healing. This review article summarizes reports on the wound healing in diabetes and discusses the mechanism of the protracted wound healing of the oral mucosa in diabetes. Delayed vascularization, reduction in blood flow, decline in innate immunity, decreases in growth factor production, and psychological stresses may be involved in the protracted wound healing of the oral mucosa in diabetics.
