The Efficacy of Adjunctive Aids in Periodontal Maintenance Therapy: A Systematic Literature Review and Meta-analysis

Conclusions: Despite high heterogeneity of the investigated data, based on the findings of a current systematic review, adjunctive aids (in particular, photodynamic therapy and tetracycline fibers) combined with SRP provide statistically significant clinical benefits compared to SRP alone. Due to the large number of included studies with high risk of bias, future studies should be based on adequate methodological procedures to improve the overall quality of reporting and to reduce the risk of bias.
