Introdução: A endodontia é uma especialidade odontológica que visa promover a saúde dentária por meio da eliminação de micro-organismos capazes de causar agressões pulpares. A terapia fotodinâmica antimicrobiana, apresenta-se como uma alternativa coadjuvante ao tratamento endodôntico convencional para eliminação dos micro-organismos resistentes ao preparo-químico-mecânico. Objetivo: Explorar a literatura dando enfoque ao mecanismo de ação e aplicabilidade da aPDT na eliminação do Enterococcus faecalis. Material e método: Realizou-se uma revisão de literatura conduzida através do acesso às bases de dados eletrônicos Medline/Pubmed e Scielo utilizando isoladamente ou em associação as palavras-chaves “Photodynamic Therapy”, “Enterococcus faecalis” e “Endodontic”, no período de 2007 a 2017, totalizando 392 artigos. Resultados: A eliminação de forma eficaz de bacterias, Enterococcus faecalis, são vantagens atribuídas à terapia fotodinâmica, no entanto, a literatura evidencia a necessidade de utiliza-la associada a outras formas de tratamento. Conclusão: É necessária a padronização dos protocolos para que se obtenha dados mais esclarecedores sobre a eficácia da terapia fotodinâmica na eliminação do Enterococcus faecalis.Descritores: Endodontia; Fotoquimioterapia; Enterococcus faecalis.ReferênciasSiqueira JF, Rôças I.
