Background: The study was conducted to evaluate the peri-implant conditions in periodontally week teeth. Materials & Methods: The present study was conducted on 82 patients who received dental implants in last 5 years of both genders. Implant classification after collection of clinical and radiographic data, each implant was classified as follows Health – BL. Clinical stability – BL ≥2 thread without BoP Inflammation c. Peri-implant mucositis – BL. Parameters such as gingival bleeding index (GBI) was evaluated. Results: Twenty of the 104 implants were stable, 22 were in good condition, 34 had mucositis, and 28 had peri-implantitis. In 14 out of 24 single units and 48 out of 80 multiple units, peri-implant disorders were found. Out of the 56 implants implanted in the maxilla, 38 implants had peri-implant disorders; 34 implants had these conditions, of which 74 used the implants’ own bone and 28 implants used bone grafting. The greatest number of diseases (24) were found in about thirty implants with a diameter of less than 3.75 mm and fifteen implants out of twenty-four with a length of less than 10 mm. Peri-implant diseases were found in fifty of the fifty implants where GBI was present. There was a substantial difference (P<0.05). Conclusion: Authors found that subjects with a history of periodontal disease are more susceptible to peri-implant diseases. Key words: Dental implants, Gingival bleeding index, Peri-implant diseases.
