Background Peri‐implant soft tissue inflammatory parameters and crestal bone loss (CBL) among waterpipe smokers (WS) with and without type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) remains uninvestigated. The aim of the present study was to assess peri‐implant soft tissue inflammatory parameters and CBL among WS and never smokers (NS) with and without T2DM. Methods Demographic data and information regarding duration of implants in function, daily frequency of smoking, duration and treatment of T2DM, and daily toothbrushing was collected using a questionnaire. Peri‐implant plaque index (PI), bleeding on probing (BOP), probing depth (PD) ≥4 mm, CBL, and hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) levels were assessed in all individuals. Level of significance was set at 5%. Results Seventy‐nine male individuals (39 patients with T2DM [20 WS and 19 NS] and 40 systemically healthy individuals [21 WS smokers and 19 NS]) were included. The mean age was comparable among individuals in all groups. The mean HbA1c levels were significantly higher among patients with T2DM compared to controls ( P < 0.01). Peri‐implant PI, BOP, PD, and CBL were comparable among WS and NS with T2DM. Among patients without T2DM, PI ( P < 0.05), PD ≥4 mm ( P < 0.05) and mesial and distal CBL ( P < 0.05) were significantly higher in WS than NS. Among individuals without T2DM, BOP was significantly higher among NS ( P < 0.05) than WS. In patients with T2DM, BOP was comparable among WS and NS. Conclusions Peri‐implant soft tissue inflammatory parameters and CBL were comparable among WS and NS with T2DM. Among individuals without T2DM, these parameters were worse among WS than NS.
