Table 3: Descriptive and comparative periodontal variables in patients with and without implants. (_p_ = 0.956); AOPP 456.04 \(\pm\) 789.75 compared to 430.65 \(\pm\) 752.05 \(\upmu\)mol/L (_p_ = 0.838); and TP 73.90 \(\pm\) 50.83 compared to 70.36 \(\pm\) 56.93 mg/dL (_p_ = 0.684). Regarding the overall quality of life scores documented using the OHIP-14, the patients with implants but without periodontal disease yielded better scores, though statistical significance was not reached between the two groups (_p_ = 0.05). However. on examining the different domains of the patients without periodontal disease, significant differences were found in relation to aesthetic satisfaction (9.15 compared to 8.53) (_p_ = 0.005) and chewing satisfaction (9.98 versus 9.35) (_p_ = 0.044). In the univariate analysis, the parameters with a significant influence upon periodontal health were seen to be patient age, medical treatment, smoking, plaque index (with increasing percentage plaque being associated to a greater probability of periodontitis), and the frequency of brushing.
