Peri-implant mucositis is reversible when diagnosed early and managed with structured maintenance. Clinical assessment should include bleeding on probing, plaque accumulation, and prosthetic cleansability. Initial therapy focuses on biofilm disruption, home-care reinforcement, and review of prosthesis design that may hinder hygiene access. Depending on tissue response, adjunctive antiseptic measures can be considered for short-term support. Scheduled reassessment is essential to confirm reduced inflammation and to prevent progression toward peri-implantitis.
