Objective The task of this working group was to update the existing knowledge base regarding the prevalence of peri‐implant tissue destruction, the role of occlusal overload, and the outcome of non‐surgical and surgical treatment. Materials and methods The literature was systematically searched and critically reviewed. Four manuscripts were presented in key areas deemed to be essential for the current understanding of the magnitude of the clinical entity peri‐implantitis. The role of overload as an etiological component was reviewed. Also available data on the results from non‐surgical and surgical interventions for the control of tissue destruction were presented. Results The consensus statements following plenary session approval, clinical implications, and directions for future research based on the group discussions are presented in this article. The results and conclusions of the systematic review process are presented by the respective authors in the subsequent papers.
