Abstract: OBJECTIVE: To observe the long-term health condition of the single-tooth dental implant at the first molar site, and to evaluate the related factors affecting the peri-implant health. METHODS: In this study, 82 patients who were treated in the Second Clinical Division, Peking University School and Hos-pital of Stomatology from January 2008 to December 2020 were enrolled. Peri-implant tissue conditions were assessed by clinical and radiographic examination. The peri-implant probing depth (PPD), modified sulcus bleeding index (mSBI), modified plaque index (mPLI) and papilla index (PI) were recorded for 278 implants. The X-ray analysis included the restoration emergence angle (REA), the clinical crown-implant ratio (cC/I), the horizontal tooth-implant distance (HTID), the contact point level (CPL) and the embrasure surface area (ESA), etc. Kruskal-Wallis rank sum test and generalized estimation equation were used for statistical analysis. RESULTS: < 0.05). Generalized estimation equation showed that PPD, mesial/distal HTID, mesial CPL, and mesial ESA had significant positive correlations with the risk of peri-implantitis in the difference between baseline and follow-up. CONCLUSION: Based on the results of this study, the peri-implant health rate is still unsatisfied, and the PPD, HTID, CPL, ESA may be related to the long-term health of the implant.
