Resumen
Objetivo: Evaluar la eficacia de la Terapia Fotodinámica Antimicrobiana (TFDA) en pacientes con Estomatitis Protésica asociada a Candida albicans. Métodos: Revisión sistemática de estudios publicados entre 2015 y 2025, en portugués e inglés. La pregunta orientadora fue: ¿La TFDA presenta eficacia significativa en la reducción de la colonización por C. albicans y en la mejoría de los signos y síntomas clínicos? La búsqueda se realizó en PubMed, Lilacs, MedLine, Livivo y SciELO, además de literatura gris en Google Scholar y Open Grey, utilizando los descriptores “Stomatitis”, “Photodynamic Therapy” y “Candida albicans” combinados con el operador AND. Resultados: Tras aplicar los criterios de elegibilidad, se seleccionaron seis ensayos clínicos aleatorizados que compararon la TFDA con terapias medicamentosas convencionales. Los estudios demostraron que la TFDA presenta eficacia equivalente y, en algunos casos, superior a los tratamientos tradicionales, a pesar de la variabilidad en los protocolos utilizados. Consideraciones finales: La TFDA mostró eficacia significativa en la reducción de colonias fúngicas y en la mejoría de los signos y síntomas clínicos de la Estomatitis Protésica.
