Peri-implant disease in subjects with and without preventive maintenance: a 5-year follow-up.

Aim: To determine the incidence of peri-implantitis in individuals with mucositis in a 5-year follow-up study.

Material And Methods: A sample of 212 partially edentulous individuals, rehabilitated with dental implants, underwent periodontal and peri-implant clinical examinations in 2005 (baseline). Five years later, 80 individuals who had been diagnosed with mucositis in the baseline examination were re-examined.
