Resumo
Objetivo: Avaliar a eficácia da Terapia Fotodinâmica Antimicrobiana (TFDA) em usuários de próteses totais removíveis com Estomatite Protética (EP) associada a Candida albicans. Métodos: Trata-se de uma revisão sistemática, compreendendo estudos publicados entre 2015 e 2025, nas línguas portuguesa e inglesa. Utilizou-se como pergunta norteadora: A terapia fotodinâmica antimicrobiana apresenta eficácia significativa na redução da colonização por C. albicans e na melhora dos sinais e sintomas clínicos em pacientes com estomatite protética? A busca foi realizada nas bases de dados PubMed, Lilacs, MedLine, Livivo e SciELO, além da literatura cinzenta no Google Scholar e Open Grey, por meio dos descritores: "Stomatitis”, “Photodynamic Therapy” e “Candida albicans”, intercalados pelos operadores booleanos “AND”. Resultados: Após os critérios de elegibilidade, foram selecionados seis ensaios clínicos randomizados que compararam a TFDA a terapias medicamentosas, cujos resultados demonstraram que a TFDA apresenta eficácia equivalente e, em alguns casos, superior à dos tratamentos tradicionais, mesmo diante da variabilidade de protocolos. Considerações finais: Os estudos indicam que a TFDA apresenta eficácia significativa na redução das colônias fúngicas e na melhora dos sintomas e sinais clínicos da EP.
