Clinical efficacy of antibiotics in the treatment of peri-implantitis

Abstract

The significance of adjunctive antibiotic therapy in the treatment of peri-implantitis remains debatable.

Peri-implant Diseases

“…105 Moreover, results from a systematic review reported that the significance of using antibiotics as adjuncts to conventional peri-implantitis therapies remains debatable. 23 Because there is heterogeneity of studies, which have used experimental combinations of different decontamination methods, it is exigent to establish a single standardized protocol for implant decontamination for the treatment of peri-implantitis. However, further information regarding implant surface decontamination is published elsewhere.…”

“…These treatment strategies encompass use of antiseptics and/or antibiotics, laser therapy, guided bone regeneration, and photodynamic therapy. [16][17][18][19][20][21][22][23] The aim of this article was to review indexed literature with reference to the various therapeutic interventions proposed for the management of peri-implant diseases.…”

Role of antimicrobial photodynamic therapy in the treatment of aggressive periodontitis: A systematic review

“…Some studies [7,8] have reported that SRP when performed with adjunct antibiotic therapy is more effective in the treatment of periodontal disease than when SRP is done alone. However, results from a systematic review showed that the significance of antibiotic therapy as a potential adjunct to SRP is debatable [9]. To overcome the limitations of scaling and root planing and to reduce the bacterial load, antimicrobial photodynamic therapy (aPDT) has been proposed as a treatment strategy for AgP.…”

The Effects of Cu-doped TiO2 Thin Films on Hyperplasia, Inflammation and Bacteria Infection

“…Moreover, a certain therapeutic has been shown to reduce coronary heart disease and limit the inflammation treatment [17]. In addition, bacterial composition on the implant materials may cause of peri-implantitis, which will influence the success and survival rates of implant materials [18,19]. Therefore, antibacterial efficacy must be considered during medical devices' implantation.…”
