“…Our results indicate that cigarette smoke may have a direct impact on the self-healing capacity of the alveolar process, in the absence of a plaque biofilm. Many studies have reported that smoking is an independent risk factor for wound healing, for instance in situations where tissues are exposed to low oxygen tension such as after lower extremity amputations (14) and mastectomies (15), and in tissues in direct contact with cigarette smoke during the process of wound healing such as in head and neck surgery (2). In the periodontal field, a number of clinical studies have compared the response of smokers and non-smokers to various types of periodontal therapy, including non-surgical and surgical therapies [see Johnson and Hill (9) for review].…”

“…Overall, previous investigations have also reported that smoking is a risk factor for other types of wound healing, especially in clinical situations in which tissues are exposed to low oxygen tension (e.g. lower‐extremity amputations and mastectomies) and/or are in direct contact with cigarette smoke, such as in head and neck surgery .…”

“…Allerdings gibt es auch Untersuchungsergebnisse, wonach Rauchen kein unabhängiger Risikofaktor ist [70]. Patienten sollten mindestens 30 Tage vor einem elektiven Eingriff das Rauchen einstellen [83][84][85].…”
