Abstract: 
Peri-implant is a severe complication after implant surgery or treatment, influencing the surrounding tissues. Therefore, distinct and continuous clinical checkups and investigation and removal of causative factors (smoking and periodontitis) are effective precautionary measures against peri-implant. The primary aim of this review is to provide a summary of the current literature regarding the etiology and prevention of peri-implant disease for healthcare providers.
