- Abstract: This consensus report presents the first official position statement of the Korean Academy of Periodontology on peri-implant diseases, issued in response to South Korea’s rapidly aging population and the associated rise in peri-implant disease management. It reviews the prevalence, classification, and definition of peri-implant diseases, emphasizing that these conditions progress more aggressively and unpredictably than periodontal diseases.The report also identifies systemic and local risk indicators, diagnostic criteria, and evidencebased treatment protocols for peri-implant mucositis and peri-implantitis, integrating international standards with Korea-specific clinical data. Clinical recommendations include structured maintenance programs, risk-based recall intervals, and patient education, with the goal of reducing disease recurrence and improving long-term implant success.
