Retrospective study investigates smoking intensity effects on implant outcomes in patients using guided bone regeneration, suggesting implications for clinical practice.
Purpose: This study investigated the dose-dependent impact of smoking intensity on marginal bone loss (MBL) and the rates of implant survival and failure in patients undergoing implant placement with simultaneous guided bone regeneration (GBR) over a 5-year follow-up period.
