This cross-sectional study evaluates the impact of systemic risk factors, including diabetes mellitus, smoking, cardiovascular disease, and osteoporosis, on peri-implant health status and clinical indices. The study included 93 patients with a total of 314 implants that have been in function for at least three years. The primary goal is to determine how these systemic conditions influence the prevalence of peri-implant mucositis and peri-implantitis.
Clinical parameters, including Gingival Index (GI), Plaque Index (PI), and Probing Depth (PD), were measured using a standard periodontal probe. Radiographic assessments were performed to evaluate bone loss in accordance with European Periodontology Workshop guidelines. Peri-implant health status was categorized into three groups: healthy, peri-implant mucositis, and peri-implantitis. Data analysis was conducted using chi-square and Mann-Whitney U tests to examine the associations between systemic factors and peri-implant tissues.

Prevalence of Peri-implant Diseases
Distribution of dental implants categorized into three status groups: healthy, peri-implant mucositis, and peri-implantitis based on clinical and radiographic criteria
Time frame: Minimum 3 years post-loading veya At clinical assessment, at least 3 years after implant loading
Gingival Index (GI)
Assessment of Gingival Index (GI) to evaluate the inflammatory status of peri-implant tissues.
Time frame: At least 3 years after implant loading
Plaque Index (PI)
Assessment of Plaque Index (PI) to evaluate the plaque accumulation around peri-implant tissues.
Time frame: At least 3 years after implant loading.
Probing Depth (PD)
Assessment of Probing Depth (PD) to evaluate the pocket depth around peri-implant tissues.
Time frame: At least 3 years after implant loading.
