Probing single-tooth dental implants with and without prostheses: a cross-sectional study comparing healthy and peri-implant mucositis sites.

The presence of prosthesis in single-tooth implants in the posterior area without IBL seems to lead to an underestimation of PPD that appears to be significant in implants diagnosed with mucositis, although the difference is even greater in healthy implants. Further studies are needed to confirm these findings.
