The clinical efficacy of laser in the nonsurgical treatment of peri-implantitis: a systematic review and meta-analysis.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

To systematically assess studies regarding the efficacy of lasers in the nonsurgical treatment of peri-implantitis.

Methods

Electronic and manual searches were performed by two reviewers independently. Randomized controlled trials (RCTs) comparing lasers vs. mechanical debridement or air abrasive on primary outcome (probing depth (PD)) and secondary outcomes (bone loss, bleeding on probing (BOP), clinical attachment level (CAL) and plaque index (PI)) were included. Data extraction and quality assessment were conducted independently. Weighted mean difference (WMD) or standardized mean difference (SMD) and 95% confidence interval (CI) were calculated for continuous outcomes. Publication bias, leave-one-out analysis and GRADE assessment were conducted.
