Sixth European Workshop on Periodontology
2008 Baseline probing measurements and radiographs should be recorded at the time of suprastructure placement. At minimum, annual monitoring of the peri-implant probing depths and the presence of BOP and SUPP must be performed. +
Probing at four surfaces is essential for diagnosis of peri-implantitis.
+
BOP indicates the presence of inflammation in the peri-implant mucosa.
+
Suppuration is a sign of peri-implantitis.
+ When clinical signs suggest the presence of peri-implantitis, the clinician is advised to take a radiograph. Peri-implant mucositis: can be identified clinically by redness and swelling of the soft tissue, but bleeding on probing is currently recognized as the important feature.
Peri-implantitis: a mucosal lesion is often associated with suppuration and deepened pockets but always accompanied by loss of supporting marginal bone.

Seventh European Workshop on Periodontology
2011 Time of prosthesis installation should be chosen to establish baseline radiographs and peri-implant probing. This will be the reference from which the development of peri-implant disease can be recognized and followed in subsequent examinations. + + + When changes in clinical parameters indicate disease (BOP, increased PD), the clinician is encouraged to take a radiograph to evaluate possible bone loss (PD > 5 mm + BOP, take a radiograph) Peri-implantitis: changes in the level of crestal bone, presence of bleeding on probing and/or suppuration; with or without concomitant deepening of peri-implant pockets. Puss is a common finding at peri-implantitis sites.

Eight European Workshop on Periodontology
2012 Baseline clinical and radiological data should be established once the remodelling phase post-implant placement has occurred. Long-cone parallel radiographs; in the absence of previous radiographic records, a threshold vertical distance of 2 mm from the expected marginal bone level following remodelling post-implant placement is recommended, provided peri-implant inflammation is evident. Peri-implantitis - inflammatory process around the implant that includes both soft-tissue inflammation and progressive bone loss of supporting bone beyond biological bone remodelling.
American Academy of Periodontology [24] 2013 Establish clinical and radiographic baseline at final prosthesis insertion. There is no single diagnostic tool that can, with certainty, establish a diagnosis of peri-implantitis. + + + + Bacterial culturing, inflammatory markers, and genetics may be useful in the diagnosis. Periapical radiographs should be perpendicular to the implant body.
CBCT may be considered depending on the location of progressive attachment loss.
Used the definition by Sanz et al. [23]
Padial- Molina et al. [25] 2014 Baseline records should be used as a reference from which the development of peri-implant disease can be recognized and followed in subsequent examinations. +
Should be repeated over time but not considered an absolute and isolated diagnostic tool.
+ + + Conventional radiographs: intraoral and panoramic are reliable; computer assisted are more accurate.
Take a radiograph if PD < 5 mm + BOP/SUPP detected.
PD ≤ 5 mm + BOP/SUPP / + bone loss ≤ 2 mm = mucositis.
PD > 6 mm + bone loss ≥ 2 mm = peri-implantitis.
Ata-Ali et al. [26] 2015 X-rays must be obtained at implant placement and prosthesis installation to allow comparisons with the periapical X-rays obtained at periodic patient controls. Peri-implant probing is essential for establishing a diagnosis of peri-implant disease. + + Parallelized intraoral X-rays should be used in all dental implants to determine possible marginal bone loss. Stage I: BOP and/or SUPP and bone loss ≤ 3 mm beyond biological bone remodelling.
Stage II: BOP and/or SUPP and bone loss > 3 mm but < 5 mm beyond biological bone remodelling.
Stage III: BOP and/or SUPP and bone loss ≥ 5 mm beyond biological bone remodelling.
Stage IV: BOP and/or SUPP and bone loss ≥ 50% of the implant length beyond biological bone remodelling.

+ parameter suggested to be used; BOP = bleeding on probing; PD = probing-pocket depth; SUPP = suppuration.
