Objectives The aim of this sub‐analysis of two prospective studies was to assess the incidence of peri‐implant mucositis and peri‐implantitis in fully edentulous patients with an implant‐retained mandibular overdenture during a 10‐year follow‐up period. Material and Methods One hundred and fifty edentulous patients with two endosseous implants to support a mandibular overdenture were available from two prospective studies. Clinical and radiographic parameters were assessed at 5 and 10 years of functional loading. Incidence of peri‐implant mucositis and peri‐implantitis were calculated at implant level and patient level following the Consensus of the Seventh European Workshop on Periodontology on peri‐implant diseases. Results Incidence of peri‐implant mucositis at patient level was 51.9% after 5 years of evaluation and 57.0% after 10 years. Incidence of peri‐implantitis at patient level was 16.9% after 5 years of evaluation and 29.7% after 10 years. Conclusion Peri‐implant mucositis and peri‐implantitis do occur in totally edentulous patients and incidence numbers are high.
