Abstract Background Peri-implant diseases are caused by biofilms around the implant and may lead to implant failure. Non-surgical mechanical debridement (MD) with different adjunctive therapies has been applied in the treatment of peri-implant diseases. This systematic review aimed to deduce the optimal adjunctive therapy.Methods Two independent authors screened the literature using MEDLINE and Cochrane Library. Only clinical randomized controlled trials (RCTs) about adjunctive therapies for non-surgical treatment of peri-implant diseases were included in this review. Studies selected were published before February 2020. The clinical outcomes were compared in this meta-analysis.Results: A total of 31 RCTs met the inclusion criteria. The following adjunctive interventions were compared in the included studies: modification of the prosthesis; air abrasive; Er:YAG laser; diode laser; photodynamic therapy; local antibiotics; system antibiotics; probiotics; and enamel matrix derivative. Follow-up ranged from 3 months to 1 year. A statistically significant difference was observed between MD with photodynamic therapy and MD alone at 3 months follow-up ( P < 0.01). However, such a difference was not detected between MD with chlorhexidine and MD alone at 3 months follow-up ( P = 0.61), between MD with probiotics and MD alone ( P = 0.47), and between systemic antibiotics and MD alone ( P = 0.96).Conclusion Currently, the optimal non-surgical intervention is not known. Also, among the interventions with similar efficiency, that with fewer side effects, easy to use, and cost-effective is yet to be identified. Thus, well-designed RCTs with prolonged follow-ups to assess the accurate effectiveness of therapies are imperative.

Abstract Background Peri-implant diseases are mainly caused by biofilms around the implant and may lead to implant failure. Non-surgical mechanical debridement with different adjunctive therapies has being applied in the treatment of peri-implant diseases. This systematic review aims to figure out whether one adjunctive therapy is superior to any other. Methods Two independent authors screened the literature via the MEDLINE, Cochrane Library and Science Direct. Only clinical randomized controlled trials (RCTs) that compared the efficacy of adjunctive therapies in the treatment of peri-implant diseases with non-surgical mechanical debridement (MD) were included in this review. The studies selected were published before June 2020. Comparisons of clinical outcomes were estimated using meta-analysis Results: A total of eighteen RCTs met the inclusion criteria, of which 13 articles were included in the meta-analysis. The following adjunctive interventions were compared in the included studies: modifying the prosthesis; air abrasive; photodynamic therapy; local antibiotics; systemic antibiotics; probiotics. Statistically significant difference was observed between MD with photodynamic therapy and MD alone at 3 months follow-up ( P < 0.01). There is no statistical difference between MD with chlorhexidine and MD alone in the treatment of peri-implant diseases at 3 months follow-up ( P = 0.84), so is MD with probiotics and MD alone ( P = 0.96), and so is systemic antibiotics and MD alone ( P = 0.47). Conclusion. MD adjunct with PDT is an effective treatment for peri-implant mucositis. However, there is still no effective non-surgical treatment for peri-implantitis.

Abstract Background Peri-implant diseases are caused by biofilms around the implant and may lead to implant failure. Non-surgical mechanical debridement with different adjunctive therapies has being applied in the treatment of peri-implant diseases. This systematic review aims to figure out whether one adjunctive therapy is superior to any other. Methods Two independent authors screened the literature via the MEDLINE and Cochrane Library. Only clinical randomized controlled trials (RCTs) that compared the efficacy of adjunctive therapies in the treatment of experimental peri-implant mucositis with non-surgical mechanical debridement (MD) were included in this review. The studies selected were published before February 2020. Comparisons of clinical outcomes were estimated using meta-analysis Results: A total of thirty-one RCTs met the inclusion criteria. The following adjunctive interventions were compared in the included studies: modifying the prosthesis; air abrasive; Er:YAG laser; diode laser; photodynamic therapy; local antibiotics; system antibiotics; probiotics; enamel matrix derivative. Follow-up ranged from 3 months to 1 years. Statistically significant difference was observed between MD with photodynamic therapy and MD alone at 3 months follow-up (P < 0.01). There is no statistical difference between MD with chlorhexidine and MD alone at 3 months follow-up (P = 0.61), so is MD with probiotics and MD alone (P = 0.47), and so is systemic antibiotics and MD alone (P = 0.96). Conclusion.At present, we do not know which non-surgical intervention is superior to any other, and for the interventions having similar degrees of effectiveness we do not know which one has less side effects, is simpler and cheaper to use. It is necessary to conduct well-designed RCTs with longer follow-ups to assess the accurate effectiveness of therapies.
