Successful Management of Peri-Implantitis around Short and Ultrashort Single-Crown Implants: A Case Series with a 3-Year Follow-Up

Table 3

Clinical parameters of the implants population stratified by maxilla or mandible placement. Parameters evaluated include probing depth (PD); bleeding index (mPLI); plaque index (mBI); mesial bone defect (m-Bone defect); mesial angle of defect (m-Angle); distal angle of defect (d-Angle); keratinized tissue (KT); full-mouth BoP (FM-BoP); full-mouth visible plaque index (FM-VPI).
