Dental Implants and Smoking

Dr. Jonas asks us:
I recently had a patient come in for a dental implant consultation. This patient is a smoker.

What is the optimum number of dental implants
(maxilary and mandib.) to support a full overdenture (no grafts involved), in
a smoker? Any other thoughts regarding the placement of dental implants in smokers. Thanks for your comments.
