Background\/Objectives: The present study aimed to evaluate the two most critical complications of dental implantation, peri-implant mucositis and peri-implantitis, through the prism of different influencing factors. Methods: We followed 40 patients, with a total number of 92 dental implants, divided into three age groups: under 35 years, between 35 and 55 years, and older than 55 years. Patients were also divided into groups according to the time since implant placement: 1\u20133 years, 4\u20137 years, and more than 7 years. The patients were examined, and periodontal pocket depth, peri-implant pocket depth, L\u00f6e\u2013Silness gingival index, mucosal thickness, and keratinized mucosal width were recorded; bone resorption was measured on radiographs using a 2D image analysis method; and a questionnaire was also conducted. Results: Bone resorption was highest in the 35\u201355 age group (3.09 \u00b1 0.04 mm) and for implants placed 4\u20137 years ago (3.39 \u00b1 0.12 mm). Females had a mean bone resorption of 3.4 \u00b1 0.15 mm and males of 2.45 \u00b1 0.07 mm. Statistically, there was a significant difference only in the L\u00f6e\u2013Silness index: the 35\u201355 age group had the highest values (p = 0.04). Conclusions: There were no statistically significant differences between the time since implant placement and the degree of bone resorption, nor between sexes. Peri-implant inflammation may occur at any age, regardless of the lifetime of the implants.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/diagnostics14141573","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,7,19]],"date-time":"2024-07-19T15:15:19Z","timestamp":1721402119000},"page":"1573","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":9,"title":["Influencing Factors Regarding the Severity of Peri-Implantitis and Peri-Implant Mucositis"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"14","author":[{"given":"Csilla","family":"Benedek","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Periodontology and Oral Diagnosis, \u201cGeorge Emil Palade\u201d University of Medicine, Pharmacy, Science and Technology of T\u00e2rgu Mure\u0219, 540142 T\u00e2rgu Mure\u0219, Romania"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-9643-6383","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Bernadette","family":"Kerekes-M\u00e1th\u00e9","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Tooth and Dental Arch Morphology, \u201cGeorge Emil Palade\u201d University of Medicine, Pharmacy, Science and Technology of T\u00e2rgu Mure\u0219, 540142 T\u00e2rgu Mure\u0219, Romania"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-0176-1894","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Liana","family":"Bere\u0219escu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Preventive and Community Dentistry, \u201cGeorge Emil Palade\u201d University of Medicine, Pharmacy, Science and Technology of T\u00e2rgu Mure\u0219, 540142 T\u00e2rgu Mure\u0219, Romania"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Imola Zsuzsa","family":"Buka","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Periodontology and Oral Diagnosis, \u201cGeorge Emil Palade\u201d University of Medicine, Pharmacy, Science and Technology of T\u00e2rgu Mure\u0219, 540142 T\u00e2rgu Mure\u0219, Romania"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-5510-2635","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Zsuzsanna","family":"Bardocz-Veres","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Prosthodontics and Oral Rehabilitation, \u201cGeorge Emil Palade\u201d University of Medicine, Pharmacy, Science and Technology of T\u00e2rgu Mure\u0219, 540142 T\u00e2rgu Mure\u0219, Romania"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Ildik\u00f3","family":"Ger\u00e9b","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Windisch Dental-Wident, 1053 Budapest, Hungary"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Krisztina Ildik\u00f3","family":"M\u00e1rtha","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Orthodontics, \u201cGeorge Emil Palade\u201d University of Medicine, Pharmacy, Science and Technology of T\u00e2rgu Mure\u0219, 540142 T\u00e2rgu Mure\u0219, Romania"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-9824-0015","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Kinga M\u00e1ria","family":"J\u00e1nosi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Fixed Prosthodontics, \u201cGeorge Emil Palade\u201d University of Medicine, Pharmacy, Science and Technology of T\u00e2rgu Mure\u0219, 540142 T\u00e2rgu Mure\u0219, Romania"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2024,7,19]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"11","DOI":"10.1016\/j.joms.2017.08.045","article-title":"Dental implants: The last 100 years","volume":"76","author":"Block","year":"2018","journal-title":"J.
