The essential characteristics of peri-implant diseases (PIDs), including peri-implant mucositis (PIM) and peri-implantitis (PI), are shown in this image. There are no indications of bone loss in PIM; gum inflammation is limited to the area around the soft tissues of the dental implant. PI is a complex condition that impacts the bone and soft tissue surrounding the implant [34]
