Background: Peri-implant diseases are broadly divided into peri-implant mucositis and peri-implantitis depending on whether bone loss has occurred or not. The present study was conducted to evaluate the profile of peri-implant tisssues in periodontally compromised patients. Material and methods: The present study was conducted to evaluate the profile of peri-implant tissues in periodontally compromised patients. Initially clinical and radiographic history of the individuals selected for the study was taken. After collection of clinical and radiographic data, each implant was classified as defined by Mir-Mari et al. All the distances were measured by software program. A correlation is considered significant when p < 0.05. All the statistical analysis was done by SPSS software. Results: In the present study 90 implants were selected in which 14.44% were classified as healthy and 18.88% as clinical stable, 40% had peri-implant mucositis and 26.66% had peri-implantitis. The mean PPD of the healthy implants was 4.2mm, the mean PPD for clinical stable implants was 5.7mm, in Peri-implant mucositis the mean PPD was 5.1mm and in Peri-implantitis the mean PPD was 5.1mm. Bone level>2 threads in clinical stable implants was 47.05% and in peri-implantitis was 66.66%. Bleeding on probing sites in peri-implant mucositis were 66 and in peri-implantitis were 60. Conclusion: The present study concluded that implant therapy can be successfully used in periodontally compromised patients, as long as the periodontitis is properly treated and patient adheres to periodontal maintenance program.
