Abstract
Oral Candidosis is a disease caused by fungi of the genus Candida, which is opportunistic and associated with immunologically compromised patients and/or those with reduced oral hygiene. The present study seeks to evaluate the use of Photodynamic Therapy to combat Oral Candidosis in denture users. A search was carried out in the databases: Pubmed, Scielo and VHL, selecting publications from the last ten years available in the literature. In this way, 106 studies were found, however, only 15 studies met the inclusion criteria. After analyzing the articles, it can be concluded that photodynamic therapy proved to be efficient in combating Oral Candidosis in patients using dental prostheses.
