Reviewer 2 Report

The manuscript entitled "Evaluation of adjuvant systems in non-surgical peri-implant treatment: a literature review" 
review the effect lasers, ozone, probiotics, glycine and/or erythritol, chlorhexidine in combination with non-surgical peri-implant treatment on periodontal parameters.
The paper is interesting; however, some changes should be addressed
Introduction:
The following section should be rewritten: "From a review of the literature published in 2008, we can get an idea of the prevalence of peri-implant disease; from this it emerges that peri-implant mucositis occurred in 40 approximately 80% of the subjects and in 50% of the implants, while peri-implantitis was found in 28% and 56% of subjects and in 12% and 43% of implant sites"
M&M:
The quality assessment should be described deeply in the M&M section to be clearer for the readers. I suggest adding a numerical scale representing the level of bias.

Reviewer 3 Report

Thank you for the opportunity to review the article “Evaluation of adjuvant systems in non-surgical peri-implant treatment: a literature review.”

The abstract is a bit too long- please shorten it to 200 words as per guidelines.

Please rephrase lines 39-42 to make them sound more scientific.

Lines 43- 45: According to data reported in the literature, other reviews report that mucositis occurs in 43% of the cases, variable in a range ranging from 19 to 65%, while peri-implantitis in around 20% of the cases, with a range ranging from 1 to 47%- please remove the crossed out words

Lines 48-52: please rephrase that part, maybe divide this sentence into two separate ones

Lines 63-68: reference missing to support the statement.

In the section related to Chlorhexidine please refer to the following article: DOI: 10.3390/healthcare10050764.

Generally, the whole manuscript needs a comprehensive language editing as in its present form it is really difficult to read. Some sentences are definitely too long and there is a need for more “scientific” approach to the writing style, I have listen only a few of them. Thera are also some grammatical errors especially with the use of articles and tenses.
