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.

Keywords: Implantoplasty; implant surface modification; peri-implantitis; review.
