ABSTRACT

OBJECTIVES: To systematically evaluate randomised controlled trials (RCTs) on whether adjuvant application of antimicrobial photodynamic therapy (aPDT) through the technique of irradiation in the external region of the periodontal pocket with optic-fibre tip offers benefits to scaling and root planning (SRP). METHODS: Five databases were searched by two independent reviewers according to pre-specified eligibility criteria up to April 2023. No restrictions regarding date of publication, language and minimum follow-up period were imposed. The Cochrane Collaboration's Risk of Bias tool (RoB 2.0) was used for quality appraisal and Grading of Recommendations, Assessment, Development and Evaluation for assessing the certainty of evidence. RESULTS: A total of 1388 publications were identified and reviewed for eligibility. Four of them fulfilled the inclusion criteria. The sample consisted of a total of 83 patients with periodontitis. In these, 330 periodontal sites were evaluated. The clinical findings of the majority of the included studies demonstrated that patients who received the association of aPDT + RAR with the protocol evaluated here, obtained clinical results similar to patients who received only the SRP alone. In none of the evaluated RCTs, clinical advantages were observed that would categorise this aPDT protocol as superior to conventional treatment. CONCLUSION: Applying aPDT after SRP with external irradiation of the periodontal pocket does not seem to result in any clinical benefit compared to the use of SRP alone in patients with periodontitis.

ABSTRACT

Scaling and root planing is the gold standard procedure in the periodontal disease treatment. Although this therapy has the ability to reduce or eliminate periodontopathogens mthrough periodontal instrumentation, sometimes the response to treatment may not promote the complete eradication of pathogens, affecting the healing process and leading to the presence of residual periodontal pockets. The aim of this study was to analyze the effectiveness of photodinamic therapy with laser photobiomodulation and as an adjunct to scaling and root planing (having as a conductive agent a fiber optic tip radiating inside the periodontal pocket), compared to scaling and root planing alone in patients with periodontitis on randomized trials. This systematic review was carried out complying with the recommendations of the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta Analyses. The databases used were Pubmed, Lilacs, Biblioteca Virtual em Saúde - Odontologia and Medline. "Periodontal Disease" OR "Periodontal Treatment" AND m"Photodinamic Theraphy" were the descriptors used. A total of five articles were included. Two studies have shown superior results in relation to the referred association; a study indicated benefits in biochemical and/or microbiological aspects; it suggests, however, that clinical relevance needs to be better evaluated; two studies did not reveal benefits that categorize photodynamic therapy + scaling and root planning as superior to conventional treatment. The association in question, when well standardized and performed, can result in promising responses in the control of periodontal disease; however, the clinical benefits that demonstrate its superiority will certainly be subject to new researches.

A raspagem e alisamento radicular é o procedimento padrão-ouro no tratamento da doença periodontal. Embora essa terapia seja capaz de reduzir ou eliminar os periodontopatógenos por meio da instrumentação periodontal, algumas vezes a resposta ao tratamento pode não promover completa erradicação dos patógenos, afetando assim, o processo de cicatrização e levando à presença de bolsas periodontais residuais. O objetivo do presente estudo foi analisar a eficácia da terapia fotodinâmica com fotobiomodulação laser adjuvante a raspagem e alisamento radicular (tendo como agente condutor uma ponta de fibra óptica que irradia o interior da bolsa periodontal), em comparação com a raspagem e alisamento radicular isoladamente em pacientes com periodontite, avaliados em estudos clínicos randomizados. Esta revisão sistemática foi realizada de acordo com as recomendações Principais Itens para Relatar Revisões sistemáticas e Meta-análises. As bases de dados utilizadas foram Pubmed, Lilacs, Biblioteca Virtual em Saúde - Odontologia e Medline. "Doença periodontal" OR "Tratamento periodontal" AND "Terapia fotodinâmica" foram os descritores utilizados. Um total de cinco artigos foram incluídos. Dois estudos mostraram resultados superiores em relação à referida associação; um estudo indicou benefícios nos aspectos bioquímicos e/ou microbiológicos; sugere, no entanto, que a relevância clínica precisa ser melhor avaliada; dois estudos não revelaram benefícios que categorizassem a terapia fotodinâmica + raspagem e alisamento radicular como superiores ao tratamento convencional. A associação em questão, quando bem padronizada e realizada, pode resultar em respostas promissoras no controle da doença periodontal; entretanto, os benefícios clínicos que demonstram sua superioridade certamente serão alvo de novas pesquisas.
