Effects of periodontal endoscopy on the treatment of periodontitis: A systematic review and meta-analysis.

CONCLUSIONS AND PRACTICAL IMPLICATIONS: Periodontal endoscopy may provide additional benefits for calculus removal compared with traditional SRP, although it could take more time to perform. With respect to BOP, GI, and PD, the authors found no sufficient evidence to support the difference between the use of periodontal endoscopy and traditional SRP. The authors concluded that additional scientific research is required to assess the effects of periodontal endoscopy on the treatment of periodontitis.
