Implantoplasty- provoking or reducing inflammation? – a systematic scoping review
Mehrnaz Beheshti Maal, Anders Verket
Abstract
OBJECTIVES: To evaluate clinical parameters associated with inflammation after adjunctive implantoplasty in conjunction with surgical treatment of peri-implantitis. MATERIALS AND METHODS: A systematic literature search was performed in 2 databases until 29. December 2020 to find publications that report on clinical parameters after surgical peri-implantitis treatment which included adjunctive implantoplasty. Clinical studies on implantoplasty reporting on BoP as outcome were included, but other clinical or radiographic outcomes were also considered. RESULTS: The search resulted in 18 articles that fulfilled the inclusion criteria. The results indicated improvements of BoP and clinical parameters following surgical peri-implantitis treatment with adjunctive implantoplasty. CONCLUSIONS: Within its limits, the findings of the present scoping review indicated that BoP is reduced following surgical peri-implantitis treatment with adjunctive implantoplasty, and that this improvement is in line with surgical peri-implantitis treatment without adjunctive implantoplasty.
