To assess the effects of adjunctive use of systemic antibiotics in nonsurgical periodontal treatment compared to nonsurgical periodontal treatment alone, on mean glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c) reductions in patients with diabetes.Two independent reviewers screened six electronic databases, registers of clinical trials, meeting abstracts and four major dental journals for controlled clinical trials with at least 3-month follow-up.After duplicates removal, electronic and hand searches yielded 2136 records; 32 full-text articles were independently read by two reviewers. To evaluate the additional effect of antibiotic usage, pooled weighted mean differences and 95% confidence intervals were calculated using fixed and random effects models.Twelve studies met the inclusion criteria, nine of which provided data that allowed their inclusion in meta-analyses. The meta-analyses showed no significant effect favouring scaling and root planing (SRP) plus antibiotic for reductions in mean HbA1c (-0.11% [-0.35, 0.13]; 6 studies), and an estimated prediction interval varying from -0.45 to 0.23. There was also no significant effect favouring the adjunctive usage of sub-antimicrobial doxycycline in HbA1c mean reduction (-0.19% [-1.04, 0.67]; 2 studies).Adjunctive use of systemic antibiotic provides no statistically significant benefit in terms of HbA1c improvement in periodontal treatment of patients with diabetes.Adjunctive use of systemic antibiotics associated with nonsurgical periodontal treatment provides no additional benefit in terms of HbA1c of diabetic patients. Clinicians should weigh the trade-off between risks and benefits provided by the use of systemic antibiotics before prescribing them for periodontal disease treatment.
