Proposed classification of peri-implantitis.
| Staging | Definition |
|---|---|
| Stage I | BoP and/or SUP and bone loss ≤ 3 mm beyond biological bone remodeling |
| Stage II | BoP and/or SUP and bone loss > 3 mm and < 5 mm beyond biological bone remodeling |
| Stage III | BoP and/or SUP and bone loss ≥ 5 mm beyond biological bone remodeling |
| Stage IV | BoP and/or SUP and bone loss ≥ 50% of the implant length* beyond biological bone remodeling |
BoP = bleeding on probing; SUP = suppuration
* Depending on implant length, if peri-implantitis can be classified as simultaneously corresponding to more than one stage, the most advanced stage should be chosen.
