Given your medical history, which includes smoking and a previous surgical intervention with incomplete tumor removal, it is essential to rule out any malignancy before considering a dental implant. Based on the information provided, here are three potential treatment advices:

  1. Biopsy and further evaluation: A biopsy of the ulcer is necessary to determine if it is benign or malignant. If malignant, further treatment would be required before considering a dental implant. If benign, the ulcer can be treated, and once healed, a dental implant can be considered.
  2. Preparatory treatments: If the biopsy reveals a benign condition, preparatory treatments such as oral hygiene improvement, replacement of defective restorations, and fitting inlays with provision for obturator retention may be necessary before proceeding with a dental implant.
  3. Dental implant after healing: If the ulcer heals completely, a dental implant can be considered. However, it is crucial to ensure that the oral cavity is healthy and free of any conditions that could compromise the success of the implant.

Based on the information provided, the most likely treatment advice would be to perform a biopsy and further evaluate the ulcer before considering a dental implant. This approach ensures the safety and effectiveness of the proposed treatment.
