The present cross-sectional study aimed to assess the clinico-radiographic parameters as well as salivary levels of receptor activator of nuclear factor kappa-Β ligand (RANKL), osteoprotegerin (OPG), interleukin (IL)-6, and tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-α) around standard and short dental implants (SDIs)-supported fixed partial denture in partially dentate type-II diabetes mellitus (T2DM) patients treated for periodontitis.
