Occlusal adjustment as an adjunct to surgical periodontal therapy vs Surgical periodontal therapy alone (no occlusal adjustment)

Change in probing pocket depth (PPD) · Adults with chronic periodontitis

Occlusal adjustment as an adjunct to surgical periodontal therapy showed no clear difference in probing (pocket) depth change (difference in mean reduction, mm) compared with surgical periodontal therapy alone (no occlusal adjustment); GRADE not reported.

Occlusal adjustment as an adjunct to non-surgical periodontal therapy vs Non-surgical periodontal therapy alone (no occlusal adjustment)

Change in probing pocket depth (PPD) · Adults with chronic periodontitis

Occlusal adjustment as an adjunct to non-surgical periodontal therapy showed no clear difference in probing (pocket) depth change (difference in mean reduction, mm) compared with non-surgical periodontal therapy alone (no occlusal adjustment); GRADE not reported.

Autologous platelet concentrates (APC) + open flap debridement (OFD) vs Open flap debridement (access flap surgery)

Change in probing pocket depth (PPD) · Patients affected by infrabony defects requiring surgical treatment, regardless of their age or gender

It is very uncertain whether autologous platelet concentrates (APC) + open flap debridement (OFD) changes change in probing depth (PD) (mm) compared with OFD (open flap debridement) alone (very low certainty).

Adjunctive antimicrobial photodynamic therapy (aPDT) applied after subgingival instrumentation (SI) vs Subgingival instrumentation (SI) alone (hand or power-driven, or both), or SI plus placebo/sham aPDT

Change in probing pocket depth (PPD) · Adults (> 18 years) with a clinical diagnosis of periodontitis, receiving active (non-surgical anti-infective) treatment

Adjunctive antimicrobial photodynamic therapy (aPDT) applied after… led to higher change in probing pocket depth (PPD) compared with subgingival instrumentation (SI) alone (hand or power-driven, or…; GRADE not reported.
