The study had two groups of patients, one group of ten who were smokers and the other ten non-smokers, all of whom have had oral surgeries to correct some dental issues and have had dental implants. Dentists have observed that while the non-smokers have had prefect healing in the proper timings, smokers have longer healing times and even no healing at all. Dental implants on non-smokers achieved better osseointegration over the smokers who have little to show to for the time frame given in the study.
