Effect of photodynamic and laser therapy in the treatment of peri-implant mucositis: a systematic review

摘要: Abstract Background The present study systematically reviewed the literature to investigate effect of photodynamic therapy (PDT) or laser (LT) in management peri-implant mucositis (p-iM). Methods electronic databases were searched until October 2017. Outcome measures bleeding on probing (BOP), plaque index (PI), depth (PD). addressed PICO question was: “Is PDT and LT effective p-iM?” Results A total five studies included qualitative analysis, two which had a low risk bias. Three used while LT. All reported significant improvement clinical inflammatory parameters p-iM. For PDT, one demonstrated reduction for group as compared manual debridement (MD), indicated comparable outcomes when tested with probiotics at follow-up. One alone improvements However, using LT, scaling root planing alone, other debridement/chlorhexidine Conclusion This systematic review inconclusive findings show p-iM due methodological heterogeneity such non-standard control groups, short follow-up period. results this should be considered preliminary further, more robust, well-designed long-term follow up standardized comparators are warranted.
