To review the effectiveness of various implant surface decontamination methods in treating non-surgical peri-implantitis.
Conducted a systematic literature search in PubMed for randomized clinical trials.
Focused on studies comparing different implant surface decontamination methods.
Included only human studies published in English from 2000 to 2016.
14 studies were included from an initial 985 articles.
Mechanical debridement alone showed limited improvements in clinical parameters.
The addition of local antibiotics significantly reduced bleeding on probing and pocket depths.
Amino acid glycine powder reduced bleeding but did not significantly affect probing depths.

Eglė Ramanauskaitė (2016) studied this question.
