Abstract
Background: In relation to dental implants, smoking has a number of detrimental consequences on the alveolar bone, such as decreased bone height, delayed bone healing, inadequate periimplant bone production, increased bone loss, and peri-implantitis. Smoking has a strong correlation with delayed implant failure, which is often shown in the second stage of implant surgery.
