Abstract
Background: The purpose of this study is to evaluate the relationship between peri-implant diseases and dental anxiety and oral health-related quality of life.
 Methods: In a total of 101 subjects (44 females, 57 males, mean age 56.9 ± 12.1), 325 implants were examined using modified plaque index, modified sulcus bleeding index, probing depth, bleeding on probing, clinical attachment level, suppuration, and keratinized mucosa width. The Oral Health Impact Profile (OHIP-14) was used to measure the impact of oral health-related quality of life. For the purpose of assessing the dental anxiety level, Corah’s Dental Anxiety Scale (DAS) was performed. In addition to dental implant measurements, the periodontal status of the participants' natural teeth was assessed by the Community Periodontal Index (CPI) of the World Health Organization.
 Results: All created groups as peri-implantitis, peri-implant mucositis, and peri-implant healthy were compatible with each other in terms of gender, age, income level, smoking status, and oral hygiene practices. However, a statistically significant correlation was found indicating that the peri-implant condition worsened as the educational status worsened (p=0.033). There was no statistically significant difference between study groups in terms of DAS, OHIP-14, and CPI. There was a significant correlation between the scores of DAS and OHIP-14 (p
