Resumo: The antimicrobial photodynamic therapy (aPDT) is based on the application of a photosensitizing agent on the injured tissue followed by low-level laser therapy (LLLT) emission on the region. The interaction generates free radicals and oxidation of the plasma membrane of microorganisms, providing antimicrobia, antiviral and antifungal activity without harming healthy host cells. Is considered a non-invasive, local, painless procedure, which has the advantages of tissue biostimulation, helping to reduce the administration of systemic medications in immunosuppressed patient. The photosensitizing agent (methylene blue 0.01%) was applied over all lesions and, after 5 minutes, LLLT was used at 660 nm, on contact mode, point by point, with 100 mW, 178J/cm 2, 6J, and 60s per point, With sessions every 24 hours depending on clinical evolution. Widely used in the treatment of oral lesions in adult and pediatric patients, in herpetic lesions, candidiasis, paracoccidioidomycosis, osteonecrosis of the jaws, and osteoradionecrosis, with success.
