68 patients underwent the aMMP-8 chair-side test as well as clinical traditional measurement methods. Those who had one or more implants in their mouth were selected as patients. The condition of the attachment tissues of these implants is monitored at a control visit after five years.
Patients who arrive for maintenance follow-up are included in the study. The trational measurement technique is used to follow the health of peri-implant tissues.
