Morphological and immunophenotypical differences between chronic periodontitis and peri-implantitis - a cross-sectional study.

CONCLUSIONS: Despite the significantly more severe general inflammatory infiltrate and plasma cells in P-I cases, it proved difficult to detect reliable differential morphological features based on histopathological images of these CP and P-I soft-tissue samples, obtaining low inter-observer and intra-observer diagnostic agreement. Conflict of interest statement: This investigation was partially supported by Research Groups #CTS-138 and #CTS-583 (Junta de Andalucía, Spain). No conflict of interest.
