👉 Most everyone has heard cigarette smoking 🚬 is harmful and can lead to implant failure, but they’ve heard mixed messages about vaping. 💨
👉 Studies show that implants 🦷placed in certain areas of a smoker’s mouth 👄 are more likely to fail when compared to that of nonsmokers. But most people do not know that vaping is linked to implant failure too. 🤕
👉 Both smoking🚬 and vaping pose challenges to the success 🙌🏼 of implants by complicating the healing process. How is that⁉️
👉 Most vape products contain nicotine, and nicotine inhibits blood 🩸 and oxygen flow throughout the body. Without blood and oxygen circulation,🫀healing from implant surgery is inhibited.
👉 Nicotine damages 🤕
gingival fibroblasts (cells that form connective tissue around the teeth). With weakened gingival fibroblasts, the body cannot form new tissue to support the implant 🦷 as effectively.
👉 In addition, vaping 💨harms osteoblasts. Osteoblasts are crucial cells that promote bone 🦴 regeneration, a vital function for the success of dental implants. Even nicotine-free vapor impairs ❌ osteoblast growth.
👉 Chemicals from smoking hinders osseointegration-the ability of the bones 🦴to grow around the implant and support it. Without proper integration, the risk of implant failure multiplies. An implant is deemed a failure 😩 when it does not properly integrate into the jaw bone. Implants fail 👎🏼 at a significantly higher percentage among smokers and vapers.
👉 Both smoking 🚬and vaping 💨are significant risk ⚠️factors bearing on whether an implant will fail. In some ways, vaping is even more insidious than smoking because of the misconception that vaping is less harmful than smoking. To increase the chances that an implant will succeed, 🥇🙌🏼 smokers and vapers should quit 🚭the habit before beginning the implant treatment process and for as long as long as possible after implant placement. 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
