- Abstract
Aim: To comparatively evaluate peri‐implant health status in smokers and non‐smokers. Materials and Methods: A total of 142 implants (74 implants in non‐smokers, 68 in smokers) in 43 smoker or non‐smoker systemically healthy patients were included in the study. Demographic and clinical periodontal data were recorded and analysed by chi‐square and Mann–Whitney U tests. Results: Peri‐implantitis and mucositis cases were significantly more frequent in the smokers than non‐smokers (<italic>p </italic>=<italic> </italic>.001). Suppuration, bleeding and plaque scores around the implants were significantly higher in smokers than non‐smokers (<italic>p </italic>=<italic> </italic>.001; <italic>p </italic>=<italic> </italic>.002; <italic>p </italic><<italic> </italic>.0001, respectively). Conclusion: The present findings indicate that smokers have a higher risk of inflammatory peri‐implant diseases. Therefore, more frequent recalls may be recommended in smokers with dental implants.
