Risk indicators related to peri-implant disease: an observational retrospective cohort study

PURPOSE The aim of the present study was to retrospectively investigate the influence of potential risk indicators on the development of peri-implant disease. METHODS Overall, 103 patients referred for implant treatment from 2000 to 2012 were randomly enrolled.
