Abstract: BACKGROUND: The occurrence of peri-implantitis is not only related to exogenous factors, and genetic risk factors may contribute to the development of implant diseases. This is mainly reflected in the expression changes caused by the polymorphisms of various cytokines. Therefore, the association between peri-implantitis and the gene polymorphisms of various related cytokines has received much attention.
OBJECTIVE: To summarize the correlation between peri-implantitis and the polymorphisms of multiple common related genes.
METHODS: Using “peri-implantitis, peri-implant inflammation, peri-implant diseases, gene variation, polymorphism” as Chinese search terms and “peri-implantitis, genotype, SNP, single nucleotide polymorphisms, polymorphism, variant, dental implant failures, dental implant loss” as English search terms, a computer was used to search the relevant literature indexed in CNKI, Web of Science, and PubMed databases. Screening was carried out by reading the titles and abstracts, and finally 65 articles were included for review. 
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: The correlations between the gene polymorphisms of the interleukin family (interleukin 1, interleukin 4, interleukin 6, interleukin 10, and interleukin 17), tumor necrosis factor α, nuclear factor κB receptor activator/nuclear factor κB receptor activator ligand/osteoprotegerin system, Fcγ receptor, CD14 and the occurrence of peri-implantitis remain controversial. Regarding the relationship between matrix metalloproteinases and peri-implantitis, the results of early studies are contrary to those of recent years. The gene polymorphisms of epidermal growth factor and CXC chemokine receptor 2 have been found to be associated with the susceptibility to peri-implantitis in the Chinese population. The main reasons for the controversial correlations are the small sample size, the potential limitations of data collected from specific geographical populations, and the lack of more specific experimental evidence.
