The Application of Antimicrobial Photodynamic Therapy (aPDT) in the Treatment of Peri-Implantitis
Table 1
Clinical peri-implant parameters of subjects in randomized clinical trials comparing antibacterial photodynamic therapy with mechanical irrigation debridement for peri-implantitis treatment.
Ultrasonic debridement and air polishing with a micronized glycine powder Implant debridement at sites with PD ≥4 mm was done with carbon fiber-reinforced plastic curettes Laser-assisted antimicrobial photodynamic therapy based on the HELBO protocol at implant sites with PD ≥4 mm
Piezoelectric ablator in combination with a special nonmetal tip Implant debridement at sites with PD ≥4 mm was done with carbon fiber-reinforced plastic curettes
PD: 5 mm; 3 mm; 2 mm; and 2 mm PLI: 60%; 11%; 17%; and 17% BOP: 100%; 20%; 10%; and 0% Analyses at baseline and 6, 12, and 24 weeks
PD: 5 mm; 3 mm; 2 mm; and 3 mm PLI: 62%; 12%; 21%; and 25% BOP: 100%; 35%; 20%; and 10% Analyses at baseline and 6, 12, and 24 weeks
