97 Maxillary implant overdentures: peri-implant infections Table 6.2 | Median values and inter-quartile ranges of Modified Bleeding Index (possible score 0-3), means and standard deviations of pocket depth (mm) and peri-implant bone change (mm) at implant level 5 and 10 years (T5 and T10) after maxillary overdenture placement.

Peri-implant disease incidence Both groups’ incidences of peri-implant mucositis and peri-implantitis are presented in Table 6.3. At T5, the patient level peri-implant mucositis incidence was 43.5% for the anterior group and 33.3% for the posterior group. At T10, the peri-implant mucositis incidence had increased to 63.9% for the anterior group and 65.2% for the posterior group. Table 6.3 | Implant level and patient level peri-implant mucositis and peri-implantitis incidence and the extent (the number of affected implants related to the total number of implants in each affected subject) of both diseases 5 and 10 years (T5 and T10) after maxillary overdenture placement.
