Retrospective analysis of the prevalence of peri-implant diseases in non-smoking patients rehabilitated with a fixed full-arch restoration, supported by two mesial axial and two distal tilted implants.

CONCLUSIONS: The prevalence of peri-implant mucositis and peri-implantitis was lower than in most of the studies in literature suggesting the feasibility of this kind of rehabilitation, in combination with a strict hygiene recall protocol, in preventing the onset of these diseases.
