Are you a smoker and would you like to use dental implants?  Is smoking the only vice you have and would you rather not stop?  Let's see what the scientific literature says about the possible combination of smoke and implants. Smoking is associated with a wide range of health risks and is implicated in the manifestation of numerous diseases.

Classifications of bruxism Bruxism is part of the parafunctional habits and can be classified according to the type of movement and the period of the day in which it occurs.

In addition, we talk about diurnal bruxism when the frame or grinding occurs during daylight hours, while it is ...
