Case definition of peri-implantitis in day-to-day clinical practice:
• bleeding and/or suppuration on gentle probing; • increased probing depth compared to previous examinations; • bone loss.

In the absence of previous examination data, a diagnosis of peri-implantitis can be based on the combination of : • bleeding and/or suppuration on gentle probing; • probing depths of ≥6mm; • bone levels ≥3mm apical of the most coronal portion of the intra-osseous part of the implant.
