Long‐Term Evaluation of Periodontal Parameters and Implant Outcomes in Periodontally Compromised Patients: A Systematic Review

“…2). Five studies were excluded because of insufficient follow‐up time, 20‐24 eight because of lack of periodontal/peri‐implant data, 25‐32 and five studies with data/type of study not of interest for the review 33‐37 . The κ values for inter‐reviewer agreement for study inclusion were 0.87 (95% CI 0.75, 0.99) for titles and abstracts and 1.00 for full‐text articles, indicating strong agreement.…”

Effectiveness of dentist's intervention in smoking cessation: A review

“…There is extensive and consistent evidence showing the harmful effects of smoking on oral health. This includes an association between smoking, pre-cancerous conditions and oral cancer, increased severity of periodontal disease in smokers, the negative influence of smoking on the success of certain dental treatments such as periodontal therapies, surgical treatments and placement of dental implants ( 7 - 9 , 25 , 26 ). Even in recent years, it has been shown that smoking might be a risk factor in certain diseases and may increase the risk of illnesses related to endodontics, which means that there is an increasing number of articles that cite the link between smoking and periapical periodontitis (in periodontal, endodontic or appearing asymptomatic teeth) ( 27 - 29 ).…”

“…Over 90 % of deaths due to lip, mouth, or pharynx cancer in men over 35 in Spain in 2006 could have been avoided if the patients had not smoked ( 6 ). Smoking is also a very important etiologic factor in periodontal disease, deficits in post-operative healing and recovery, and it plays an important role in the failure of dental implants ( 7 ). This is why the dentist plays a significant role in promoting healthy lifestyles by incorporating programs for patients to help them quit smoking.…”

Variables related to periodontal disease and peri-implant bone loss

“…Important to emphasize is that deficient oral hygiene and smoking have a negative influence on the predictability of treatment with implants [1,6,19,[23][24][25]27].…”

“…Factors such as gender, systemic conditions, smoking, history of periodontitis, length, diameter and position of the implant were evaluated. Thus it was demonstrated that permanence in the long term was compatible with well positioned implants, however, the presence of factors such as tobacco use, periodontal disease, implants in the posterior region of the maxilla increased the number implant failures [19].…”
