What is one way smoking affects the periodontium?
Negatively influencing the oral microbial profile
What is the risk of dental implant failure in smokers compared to nonsmokers?
Two times higher
What condition is shown to be high in smokers compared with nonsmokers?
Peri-implantitis
What is the responsibility of the clinician regarding dental implant therapy for current smokers?
Explaining the higher risk for implant failure to the patients
What are the multiple mechanisms by which smoking affects the periodontium?
Smoking negatively influences the oral microbial profile, suppresses the immune system, and alters the microvascular environment, leading to disrupted healing.
What is the increased risk of dental implant failure for smokers compared to nonsmokers?
Smokers have a two times higher risk for dental implant failure than nonsmokers do.
What is peri-implantitis and how does its incidence compare between smokers and nonsmokers?
Peri-implantitis is a condition synonymous with periodontitis around the natural tooth. Its incidence is shown to be high in smokers compared with nonsmokers.
Is smoking an absolute contraindication for dental implant therapy? If not, what is the clinician's responsibility regarding implant failure risk in smokers?
Smoking is not an absolute contraindication for dental implant therapy. The clinician's responsibility is to explain the higher risk for implant failure to patients who are current smokers.
