OBJECTIVE: Cytokine gene polymorphisms may modulate the host response to the bacterial challenge and influence susceptibility to peri-implantitis. OBJECTIVE: To systematically review the evidence of an association between the interleukin-1 (IL-1) composite genotype, i.e. presence of the allele 2 in the gene clusters IL-1A (-889) and in IL-1B (+3953), and peri-implantitis. MATERIAL AND METHODS: An electronic search in the National Library of Medicine-computerized bibliographic database MEDLINE and a manual search were performed. The search was conducted for longitudinal clinical trials comparing progression of peri-implantitis in IL-1 genotype positive (carrying allele 2) with IL-1 genotype negative (not carrying allele 2) subjects. Selection of publications, extraction of data and validity assessment were made independently by two reviewers. RESULTS: The search provided 44 titles of which two longitudinal publications were included. CONCLUSION: Based on the findings from this study, there is not enough evidence to support or refute an association between the IL-1 genotype status and peri-implantitis. Systematic genetic testing for the assessment of the risk of peri-implantitis cannot be recommended as a standard of care at this time.
