Locally applied statins as adjuvants to non-surgical periodontal treatment for chronic periodontitis: a systematic review and meta-analysis

Abstract: Clinicians might consider the use of SRP + statins as an adjunct over other alternative approaches, based on the results of the present review. The informed decision should be taken, considering the patient's values and preferences, and the intervention to be implemented by the clinician.

“…However, clinical trials investigating the effects of different statins on adjuvant treatment of CP are limited. To our knowledge, there are six meta-analyses comparing statins adjunctive to scaling and root planing (SRP) with SRP alone, however, they fail to measure the relative effects of various statins on CP without other systemic diseases [4, 1721]. Therefore, a network meta-analysis which compares and ranks different statins should be beneficial to clinical practice.…”

“…Regarding patient‐related endpoints, all patients reported a significant improvement in all outcomes. The pain measured by VAS was improved at seven and 10 days, and the seven‐day OHrQoL also showed improvement (Cosola et al, 2018), allowing us to conclude that the benefits of the domestic oral care instructions and the patients' motivation did not only result in an improved anti‐plaque effect, but also in their increased well‐being (Meza‐Mauricio et al, 2018).…”
