Table 6.
Table presents values for marginal bone loss, values of Corticalization Index and implant loss frequency. Values were calculated for implants in mandible for smokers and non-smokers. 00M—the observation period immediately after the implantation; 5y—the observation period 5 years after the implantation.
| Observation Period | Smoker | Non-Smoker | p Value | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Smoking/Marginal Bone Loss | 00M | 0 mm ± 1.83 mm | 0 mm ± 0.88 mm | p < 0.05 |
| 5y | 1.10 mm ± 1.46 mm | 0 mm ± 1.09 mm | p < 0.05 | |
| Smoking/Corticalization Index | 00M | 195.81 ± 68.8 | 193.27 ± 136.54 | p = 0.85 |
| 5y | 263.87 ± 130.7 | 298.02 ± 200.1 | p = 0.68 | |
| Implant Loss to Marginal Bone Loss | 5y | 2.36 mm ± 0.94 mm | 0 mm ± 1.13 mm | p < 0.05 |
| Implant Loss Frequency | 5y | 1.66% | 1.25% | p < 0.05 |
