Abstract

INTRODUCTION Implantology has led to several changes in the planning process involved in the application of dental prostheses to diminish bone level changes along the margins of dental implants. However, the relationship between smoking and marginal bone loss around dental implants, supporting both fixed and removable prostheses has not been investigated. We hypothesize that the design of different prostheses alter the effects of smoking, which consequently affects the amount of supporting alveolar bone.
