Abstract: Background: Periodontal inflammation is one of the most common infectious diseases related to the mouth worldwide. Objectives: This study was conducted with the aim of determining periodontal indicators of MS patients after implant placement. Methods: This case-control study was conducted in the group of patients who visited private and public dental clinics in Ilam city for implant placement. In this study, after obtaining informed consent from the patients, their demographic information was recorded, and then the research and clinical examinations were started by the periodontist specialist. Periodontitis was diagnosed using clinical examination and questionnaire. After collecting the desired indicators, the data was entered into SPSS software version 16, and data analysis was done using independent t-test, ANOVA, and regression. Results: Results showed that 41.7% of the patients in the case group, 20% in control group 1, and 6.7% in control group 2 had symptoms of periodontitis. In the case group, a significant relationship was observed between education status and smoking with periodontitis, such that in patients with education below diploma and a history of smoking, the rate of periodontitis was higher than in other patients (P < 0.05). Conclusions: The prevalence of periodontitis in multiple sclerosis (MS) patients who visited dental clinics for implants was reported to be high. For this reason, it is recommended to carry out preventive and therapeutic protocols in this field more carefully.
