How does tobacco use affect dental implants?
Not only does it affect the health of smokers and those around them, but smoking also directly affects the treatment results for the person performing the Implant.
For smokers, the risk rate when implanting teeth is up to 10%. while the usual rate is 2%. Therefore, when intending to implant teeth, the doctor will ask about the status of the patient who smokes or not? Because in cigarettes there are ingredients that increase the body's sensitivity to foreign objects.
When implanting the Implant, the body has a tendency to reject the Implant post of smokers 3 times higher, compared to non-smokers. In addition, smoking also reduces the function of the immune system, the secretion function in the nasopharynx, increasing the risk of wound infection. Nicotine in cigarettes is also an active ingredient that contributes to the increased likelihood of creating an open wound at the implant site.
Some patients who smoke are lucky and do not experience rejection of the implant. But smoking affects the progress of treatment, making the healing process slower than other patients, due to:
The bone of a person who is using tobacco is only half as strong as a normal person, when implanting a dental post, the attachment of the Implant to the jaw bone is reduced.
Cigarette smoke is also a cause of affecting the activity of bone-forming cells, low bone quality in smokers, and slower integration with Implant posts.
