Methods: This cross-sectional study involved 120 participants categorized into peri-implantitis and healthy implant groups according to the 2018 classification criteria for periodontal and peri-implant diseases. Saliva samples were analyzed for MMP\u22128 polymorphisms using polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and Sanger sequencing. Statistical analyses were conducted to evaluate genotype- and allele-specific risks and their associations with clinical parameters. Results: Among the 95 samples analyzed, the \u2212799C\/T polymorphism was significantly associated with peri-implantitis, with T allele carriers having a higher diagnosis rate (odds ratio: 3.04, p = 0.010). Although T allele carriers exhibited higher mean values for the probing depth (PD), clinical attachment level (CAL), and bleeding on probing (BOP), these differences were not statistically significant across genotypes. No associations were found between the \u2212381A\/G and +17C\/G polymorphisms and peri-implantitis clinical parameters. Conclusions: The \u2212799C\/T polymorphism, specifically the T allele, is strongly linked to peri-implantitis, indicating its potential as a genetic marker for disease susceptibility. Further research is required to investigate the role of MMP-8 polymorphisms in peri-implant diseases and to advance the development of personalized diagnostic tools.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/jpm15050182","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2025,5,1]],"date-time":"2025-05-01T06:49:02Z","timestamp":1746082142000},"page":"182","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":4,"title":["Association of MMP-8 -799C\/T Polymorphism with Peri-Implantitis: A Cross-Sectional Study"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"15","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-2156-0686","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Ioannis","family":"Fragkioudakis","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Preventive Dentistry Periodontology and Implant Biology, School of Dentistry, Aristotle University of Thessaloniki, Thessaloniki 54124, Greece"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-0979-3871","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Christine","family":"Kottaridi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"General Microbiology Laboratory, Department of Genetics, Development and Molecular Biology, School of Biology, Aristotle University of Thessaloniki, Thessaloniki 54124, Greece"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Aikaterini-Elisavet","family":"Doufexi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Preventive Dentistry Periodontology and Implant Biology, School of Dentistry, Aristotle University of Thessaloniki, Thessaloniki 54124, Greece"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-7415-3582","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Konstantinos","family":"Papadimitriou","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Preventive Dentistry Periodontology and Implant Biology, School of Dentistry, Aristotle University of Thessaloniki, Thessaloniki 54124, Greece"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Leonidas","family":"Batas","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Preventive Dentistry Periodontology and Implant Biology, School of Dentistry, Aristotle University of Thessaloniki, Thessaloniki 54124, Greece"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-4365-8406","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Dimitra","family":"Sakellari","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Preventive Dentistry Periodontology and Implant Biology, School of Dentistry, Aristotle University of Thessaloniki, Thessaloniki 54124, Greece"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2025,5,1]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"S246","DOI":"10.1111\/jcpe.12954","article-title":"Peri-implantitis","volume":"45","author":"Schwarz","year":"2018","journal-title":"J.
