Abstract

Objectives: To systematically assess the efficacy of different non‐surgical treatment methods to manage peri‐implantitis reported to date in the literature, together with its correlation with time following therapy. Materials and Methods: A systematic literature review was undertaken to identify randomised control trials of the non‐surgical management of peri‐implantitis published up to November 2019. The search was limited to English language human studies containing follow‐up periods of ≥3 months and for sample size of 10 or more patients. A meta‐analysis was implemented for the following clinical parameters: Peri‐implant pocket depth (PPD), bleeding on probing (BOP), clinical attachment level (CAL), radiographic bone loss (RBL) and mucosal recession (MR). Results: Twelve articles met the inclusion criteria. Two principal treatment modalities were identified; mechanical debridement and laser therapy, with two adjunctive therapies antimicrobial and antiseptic agents. Non‐surgical interventions (ultrasonic scalers, Er:YAG laser and powdered air‐abrasive devices) showed significant clinical improvement in the short term (<3 months). Clinical benefit was demonstrated with the adjunctive use of antimicrobial agents in the short term but diminished with time. Antiseptic agents alone have no significant effect. Non‐surgical therapies applied in these studies failed to arrest mucosal recession, peri‐implant bone loss or reduce the counts of viable pathogens in the long term. Conclusion: The evidence demonstrate that the clinical parameters of peri‐implantitis, i.e. BOP, PPD and CAL may all be improved by simple mechanical debridement, using either ultrasonic instrumentation or Er:YAG laser therapy; adjunctive antimicrobial and antiseptic therapy. Further randomised control trials in this area are, however, required.
