Influence of rheumatoid arthritis on peri-implant diseases: A longitudinal retrospective clinical and radiographic evaluation.

ABSTRACT:

Background

To investigate the effect of rheumatoid arthritis (RA) on the incidence of peri-implantitis (PI) and peri-implant mucositis (PIM).

Methods

Radiographic and clinical chart reviews were conducted to measure the probing depth (PD), bleeding on probing, and marginal bone loss (MBL) around the implants to diagnose peri-implant diseases based on the 2017 workshop classification. Values were recorded at the baseline (T0) to the last available chart and radiograph (T1). Maintenance compliance was evaluated. Cases were followed longitudinally to detect the incidence of PI and PIM. Various potential confounders were controlled, including the total radiographic follow-up time, chart-based follow-up time, number of maintenance visits, implant dimensions, history of periodonti
