Efficacy of non-surgical mechanical debridement with and without adjunct antimicrobial photodynamic therapy in the treatment of peri-implantitis among patients undergoing chemotherapy

Among patients undergoing chemotherapy and systemically healthy individuals, a single session of aPDT and NSMD is ineffective in the treatment of peri‑implantitis. Nevertheless, poor oral hygiene of the participants and the short-term follow-up may have influenced the results. Hence further long-term follow-up clinical trials involving multiple sessions of aPDT after MD are needed.
