Anti‐infective therapy of peri‐implantitis with adjunctive local drug delivery or photodynamic therapy: six‐month outcomes of a prospective randomized clinical trial

Abstract

In cases of initial peri-implantitis, non-surgical mechanical debridement with adjunctive use of PDT is equally effective in the reduction of mucosal inflammation as with the adjunctive use of minocycline microspheres up to 6 months. Adjunctive PDT may represent an alternative treatment modality in the non-surgical management of initial peri-implantitis. Complete resolution of inflammation, however, was not routinely achieved with either of the adjunctive therapies.
