RESEARCH Relationship Between Smoking and Bleeding on Probing ˜ Joao Gustavo Oliveira de Souza1 ´lio Marco Aure Bianchini, PhD, MSc2 Cimara Fortes Ferreira, PhD, MSc3* The objective of this study was to assess and compare bone loss (BL) around the dental implant platform as well as the presence of bacterial plaque (PBP), bleeding on probing (BOP), and periodontal probing depths (PD) of teeth and dental implants of smokers and nonsmokers. Three hundred forty-seven teeth and 98 implants of 20 randomly selected patients were assessed (12 smokers and 8 nonsmokers). The specimens were divided into 4 groups according to the site probed. Group 1 included smoker implant sites, group 2 included smoker tooth sites, group 3 included nonsmoker implant sites, and group 4 included nonsmoker tooth sites. The presence/ absence of visible bacterial plaque, presence/absence of BOP, PD 3 mm or .3 mm, and BL around the dental implant platform were the data assessed. The PBP and BL showed statistical significance between smokers and nonsmokers. Bleeding on probing and PD 3 mm showed statistical significance between groups 1, 3, and 4. Comparing sites with BOP and PD . 3 mm, there was no statistical significance except for group 1, which did not present sites with these characteristics. Comparing sites with BOP and PD 3 mm, there was statistical significance between group 2 and groups 3 and 4. When comparing the prevalence of sites without BOP and PD . 3 mm, there was statistical significance between groups 1, 3, and 4. Smoking promotes a greater BL around the dental implant platform and results in vasoconstriction of the peri-implant and periodontal tissues. Key Words: cigarette smoking, teeth, dental implants, bleeding on probing INTRODUCTION he notable success of dental implants1 showed increased use of this treatment modality for replacing missing teeth and resulted in an increased interest in identification of factors associated with its failures. The deleterious effects of smoking on wound healing and its association with low bone quality and periodontal disease are well documented. Therefore, a negative effect from smoking is expected when individuals are rehabilitated with dental implants.2 Failure of dental implants can occur immediately after implant placement or after osseointegration has occurred. Early failure occurs especially because of lack of primary stability, resulting in fibrous tissue formation in the boneimplant interface. Delayed failures occur because of Federal University of Santa Catarina, Florianopolis, Brazil.

Various studies were therefore developed to identify the factors that impair the host’s response to peri-implant infection.1–3 Smoking shows a strong association with the severity of periodontal diseases and with periimplant bone loss (BL).2,4–6 Bacterial proliferation in epithelial cells is greater in smokers. In addition, the microorganisms involved in periodontal disease (Porphyromonas gingivalis, Aggregatibacter actinomycetemcomitans, Prevotella intermedia, Eikenella corrodens, Fusobacterium nucleatum, and Tannarella forsythensis) are the same that are related to periimplant diseases.7 This could predispose to early dental implant loss because of the higher concentration of A actinomycetemcomitans, P gingivalis, and T forsythensis in smokers.8 Journal of Oral Implantology 581
