Implantoplasty- provoking or reducing inflammation? – a systematic scoping review

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.
