The objective of this study is to assess clinically the peri implant tissues, the radiological marginal bone loss and the stability around implants placed at the crestal versus the subcrestal level in type 2 controlled diabetic patients using cone beam computed tomography

Mid crestal incision will be performed and full-thickness envelope flap will be elevated to expose the alveolar ridge (no releasing incisions will be made). Implant site will be prepared according to the manufacturer's instructions under sterile copious irrigation Implants will be placed at crestal level
Implants will be placed 1mm subcrestally

change in Implant stability
Implant stability will be measured again by Osstell at 3 different directions (buccal, mesial and distal) at the time of implant loading (after 3 months from implant placement).
Time frame: at baseline and 3 months
change in margianl bone level
CBCT will be done Marginal bone loss in all aspects (mesial, distal buccal and lingual) The difference in distance from bone crest to apical end of the implant will be assessed at each follow up period then the mean will be calculated for mesial and distal and also for buccal and lingual.
Time frame: at baseline, 3rd and 6th months
