Diagnostic accuracy of clinical parameters to monitor peri‐implant conditions: A matched case‐control study

Abstract

The diagnosis of peri-implant diseases cannot rely solely upon individual clinical parameters but rather require a combination of criteria. The clinical parameters, particularly probing depth, might accurately discern between diagnoses among peri-implant conditions. Nevertheless, the specificity of the clinical parameters surpasses the sensitivity in the detection of peri-implant diseases, validating its potential use as a diagnostic tool.
