Abstract	Thyroid diseases—including hypothyroidism, hyperthyroidism, and autoimmune thyroid conditions—have increasingly been associated with peri-implantitis, a severe inflammatory condition affecting tissues surrounding dental implants. Clinical evidence suggests that individuals with thyroid dysfunction are at a heightened risk of peri-implant inflammation, delayed healing, and unfavorable therapeutic outcomes. In addition, thyroid hormone imbalance can disrupt bone metabolism, thereby influencing osseointegration and long-term implant stability. Considering the rising global prevalence of thyroid disorders, their role must be carefully evaluated during dental implant planning and postoperative management. This review examines the multifaceted relationship between thyroid pathology and peri-implantitis, emphasizing the importance of interdisciplinary collaboration in patient care. A deeper understanding of how thyroid disorders affect peri-implant health may contribute to improved treatment strategies and enhanced patient outcomes.
