A prospective clinical study was conducted to explore the possible link between peri‐implant bone loss and the widespread habits of tobacco smoking and alcohol consumption. One hundred and eighty‐five patients who received 514 implants were followed up for 3 years. Peri‐implant marginal bone loss was evaluated by digital panoramic radiography and image analysis techniques. Multivariate analysis showed that peri‐implant marginal bone loss was significantly related to a daily consumption of >10 g of alcohol, tobacco use and increased plaque levels and gingival inflammation. The present results indicate that daily alcohol consumption and tobacco use may have a negative influence on predictable long‐term implant treatment outcomes, producing peri‐implant bone loss and compromising restorative treatment with implant‐supported prostheses.
