Abstract
Background and Objective: The greatest challenge of implantology is the maintenance of dental implants, with peri-implantitis being the main cause of implant loss. Studies highlight the importance of dental biofilm control, reduction of the inflammatory process in the peri-implant mucosa and decontamination of the implant surface, as well as the need for surgical intervention. Recently, low-level laser therapy (LLLT) has been introduced in different dental specialties, especially those related to oral mucosa lesions and the treatment of periodontal disease. The combination of LLLT and a photosensitizer dye promotes antimicrobial activity (aPDT) and may be used as a noninvasive treatment of peri-implantitis. The objective of this study was to conduct a literature review on the use of antimicrobial photodynamic therapy (aPDT) in the treatment of peri-implantitis.
