Exclusion criteria

Exclusion criteria: 1) Presence of relevant medical conditions: Patients with bone disease, osteoporosis, uncontrolled diabetes mellitus, unstable or life-threatening conditions, or those requiring antibiotic prophylaxis. 2) Systemic condition that may affect periodontal disease susceptibility and/or treatment, i.e., diabetes mellitus, history of malignancy, radiotherapy, or chemotherapy for malignancy in the past 5 years. 3) Patients with medication of drugs influencing the bone metabolism or using bisphosphonates. 4) Pregnancy or lactation during the study period. 5) Patients with primary bone augmentation before dental implant placement. 6) Patients who are diagnosed with early peri-implantitis. 7) Patients with active infection or pathologic lesions prior to operation. 8) Abutment connection stage surgery requires additional treatment such as osteotomy, connective tissue graft, or free gingival graft. 9) The dental implant fixture has been inserted deeper than 1 mm. 10) Poor oral hygiene. 11) Patients who cannot control periodontitis (PI < 20%, BI < 10%, remaining PD < 5 mm) or patients who have been treated with supportive periodontal therapy (SPT) for 1 year.
