Values are presented as mean ± standard deviation or number (%).

PD: probing depth, IRBL: interproximal radiographic bone loss, df: degrees of freedom.

a)All df values = 2. b)Data based on the number of implants within each parameter by diagnostic category. c)Two-sided Pearson χ2 test. d)One-way analysis of variance. e)Statistically significant difference (P<0.05; χ2, Fisher exact, or Games-Howell post hoc comparison tests) compared with the healthy implant group. f)Statistically significant difference (P<0.05, χ2 or Games-Howell post hoc comparison tests) compared with the peri-implant mucositis group.
