Limited evidence suggests that adjunctive antimicrobial photodynamic therapy may not provide additional clinical benefit to conventional instrumentation strategy alone in periodontitis and peri-implantitis patients
ConclusionsAdjunctive use of aPDT provides similar clinical improvements in PD and CAL when compared with conventional periodontal therapy alone in patients with moderate to severe periodontitis. The statistical improvements shown in studies is equivocal as to whether this translates to any presumptive clinical benefit. (Source: Journal of Evidence Based Dental Practice)

Limited evidence suggests that, in a deficient edentulous posterior maxilla, short implants could be an alternative to sinus augmentation with longer implants
ConclusionThe authors recommended short implants whenever the height of available bone permits optimum implant placement. The authors concluded that both treatment options are considered viable clinically and radiographically. However, short implants have shown reduced postoperative discomfort, minimal invasiveness, and reduced cost. (Source: Journal of Evidence Based Dental Practice)

Limited evidence suggests guided bone regeneration with or without autogenous bone grafts are equivalently effective in horizontal bone gain
ConclusionWithin the limitations of the study, GBR with or without autogenous block graft may be an effective approach in augmenting horizontally deficient mandibular or maxillary ridges, before the placement of dental implants. However, more complications may be seen with the use of an autogenous block graft related to the donor sites. (Source: Journal of Evidence Based Dental Practice)
