Article Synopsis
- The systematic review and meta-analysis evaluated the effectiveness of antimicrobial photodynamic therapy (aPDT) as an addition to non-surgical periodontal treatment (NSPT) for patients with HIV and periodontitis.
- The analysis included four studies, which showed a significant reduction in microbial load and improved clinical parameters, such as probing depth and clinical attachment loss, in the aPDT-treated group compared to NSPT alone.
- The studies had a low risk of bias, and the overall certainty of evidence was rated as moderate, suggesting that aPDT is a promising therapy for this patient population.
