Abstract: Extracorporeal shock wave therapy (ESWT) has been widely studied and applied in medical practice. In the oral field, because of its advantages of being non-invasive, low cost and safe, it has been increasingly applied to the treatment of peri-implantitis. However, ESWT is still in the initial stage of research and needs more basic clinical research for verification. This article reviewed the mechanism of ESWT and the research progress in the treatment of peri-implantitis.
