Abstract:
Dental implants are the ideal standard of care for many oral health care providers. Tobacco use is an impediment to the success of this sophisticated procedure. Dentists who are trained to help their patients stop using tobacco are in position to improve their success rates with dental implants. A suggested protocol for tobacco cessation in the implant practice, if utilized, could raise the standard of health care in the dental office.
