Peri-implant disease pathogenesis is similar to periodontal disease pathogenesis resulting in production of pro-inflammatory mediators. These mediators are released during the inflammation phase, among which C-reactive protein (CRP) is one of the acute phase reactants. The aim of the study was to correlate the levels of CRP with the severity of peri-implant diseases. The present observational study was carried out from June 2022 to December 2022 in the Department of Implantology, Saveetha Dental College and Hospitals, Chennai, India. A total of 60 patients with peri-implant health (<i>n</i> = 20), peri-mucositis (<i>n</i> = 20) and peri-implantitis (<i>n</i> = 20) were enrolled. Unstimulated salivary samples were collected and subjected to latex agglutination assay for CRP analysis. CRP levels were then correlated with severity of peri-implant diseases. The mean CRP level in peri-implant health, peri-implant mucositis, peri-implantitis were 0.25 ± 0.36 mg/dl, 3.56 ± 0.85 mg/dl and 5.07 ± 0.74 mg/dl, respectively. Pearson correlation coefficient analysis revealed a strong positive correlation between CRP and peri-implant parameters suggesting that the CRP level increased as the severity of peri-implant disease increased. CRP level increases with severity of peri-implant diseases and there exists a positive correlation between CRP level and peri-implant parameters. Therefore, CRP can be used as a diagnostic marker for peri-implant diseases.
