Abstract(s)
Os avanços tecnológicos na área da medicina dentária mudam a prática dos médicos dentistas,
tentando melhorar a qualidade e eficacidade dos tratamentos. A terapia fotodinâmica parece ter
um papel promissor na melhoria da desinfecção canalar durante o tratamento endodôntico.
O objetivo deste trabalho é realizar uma revisão narrativa bibliográfica de modo a avaliar se a
terapia fotodinâmica poderá ser uma alternativa à desinfecção canalar convencional.
A metodologia consistiu numa pesquisa efetuada nas bases de dados utilizando os motores de
busca com PubMed, B-On e Google Schoolar. Foram utilizadas as seguintes palavraschave: “Endodontia”; “Terapia fotodinâmica”; “Desinfecção canalar”.
Da análise realizada da literatura científica consultada, evidencia-se que a terapia fotodinâmica
é eficaz na endodontia e potencializa os resultados da desinfecção canalar convencional
produzindo uma redução adicional no número de bactérias. No entanto, mais estudos devem ser
realizados para poder padronizar os parâmetros da terapia assim como estabelecer um protocolo
preciso e seguro.
Technological advances, in the field of dental medicine, change the practice of dentists, trying to improve the quality and effectiveness of treatments. Photodynamic therapy appears to have a promising role in improving canal disinfection during endodontic treatment. This bibliographic narrative review aims to assess whether photodynamic therapy could be an alternative to conventional canal disinfection. The methodology consisted of a search carried out in the databases using the search engines PubMed, B-On and Google Schoolar. The following keywords were used: “Endodontics”; “Photodynamic therapy”; “Canal disinfection”. From the analysis carried out of the scientific literature consulted, it is evident that photodynamic therapy is effective in endodontics and enhances the results of conventional canal disinfection, producing an additional reduction in the number of bacteria. However, more studies must be carried out to be able to standardize the parameters of the photodynamic therapy as well as to establish an accurate and safe protocol.
