Abstract
OBJECTIVES: This research was done to assess how much bone is lost around dental implants in smokers. MATERIAL AND METHOD: There were 80 participants total in the study, 40 of whom were smokers (Group I) and 40 of who were non-smokers (Group II). By evaluating the patients' clinical and radiographic data, the marginal bone-level measurements were determined. The acquired information underwent statistical analysis. RESULTS: Smokers were found to have worse overall clinical parameters than non-smokers (P 0.05). Smokers experience more marginal bone loss around implants than non-smokers do. CONCLUSION: Smoking has a negative impact on the outcome rate of dental implants.
