This single-center cross-sectional observational study evaluated oral health-related quality of life and its relationship with patient- and implant-level characteristics in adults with peri-implantitis. A total of 102 participants with 207 peri-implantitis-affected implants were included.
Participants underwent clinical, radiographic, prosthetic, occlusal, periodontal, and peri-implant soft-tissue assessments. Oral health-related quality of life was evaluated using the validated Turkish version of the 14-item Oral Health Impact Profile (OHIP-14). The primary outcome was the total OHIP-14 score. Selected OHIP-14 domains, including functional limitation, physical pain, physical disability, and handicap, were evaluated as exploratory outcomes.
The study aimed to determine whether demographic, behavioral, periodontal, prosthetic, occlusal, radiographic, and peri-implant soft-tissue characteristics were associated with patient-reported oral health impact in individuals with peri-implantitis.
