Key Points

Smoking significantly affects free gingival graft dimensions after surgery, indicating a detrimental impact on oral health.
The study observed that keratinized mucosa width decreased by about 0.3 mm in smokers compared to non-smokers, with significant changes over the initial month.
This prospective clinical trial involved assessing twenty implants and included measuring outcomes over a specified timeframe.
The findings highlight potential implications for dental practices, suggesting smoking cessation may improve surgical outcomes for patients.
