CI: confidence interval, subgroup 1: nonsmokers in the native bone group, subgroup 2: smokers in the native bone group, subgroup 3: nonsmokers in the regenerated bone group, subgroup 4: smokers in the regenerated bone group.
a)In comparison with nonsmokers, smokers had a 10.7 times higher risk for implant failure, with a statistically significant difference (P<0.05); b)In comparison with subgroup 1, subgroup 2 had a 10.9 times higher risk for implant failure, with a statistically significant difference (P<0.05).
