Smoking is associated with early dental implant failure particularly at the maxillary location, at both implant and individual level suggests a study published in the Journal of Dentistry.
There is uncertainty about the extent to which smoking influences early dental implant failure.
A study was done to assess the association between smoking and early dental implant failure by conducting a systematic review and meta-analysis of observational studies. Thirty-two observational clinical studies published between 1994 and 2024 were included, with a total of 59,246 implants at implant level and 14,115 patients at individual level.
