Purpose: This study aimed to evaluate the relationship between risk profile assessments of dental implants that have been in function for at least two-year and peri-implant marginal bone loss during the follow-up period using the Implant Disease Risk Assessment Diagram. Material and Methods: A total of 70 patients and 170 implants who had been functionally loaded for at least two years and who attended follow-up sessions were included in the study. Full-mouth plaque index (PI), gingival index (GI), probing depth (PD), bleeding on probing, clinical attachment level (CAL), and peri-implant modified plaque index, modified bleeding index, PD, keratinized mucosal width (KMW), CAL and GR were recorded. According to the IDRA risk diagram, participants and dental implants were divided into low, moderate, and high-risk groups. Marginal bone level (MBL) was measured on periapical radiographs obtained at functional loading (T0) and at the last follow-up session (T1), and mesial and distal marginal bone level changes (ΔMBL) were calculated as T1-T0. Results: A statistically significant correlation was found between the periodontitis history and periodontitis susceptibility and IDRA classification at the patient-level. Full-mouth GI, PD, and BOP were found to be statistically higher in the high-risk IDRA group. No statistically significant result was found between the mesial and distal ΔMBL between the IDRA risk groups.Conclusions: In this study, IDRA risk level increased especially by periodontitis susceptibility and periodontitis history, but no significant difference was found between risk groups in terms of ΔMBL.
