Article Synopsis
- Oral candidiasis is a widespread issue, particularly among immunocompetent individuals, and resistance to standard antifungal treatments is prompting the exploration of alternative solutions like curcumin-mediated blue light therapy.
- A systematic review was conducted, following PRISMA 2020 guidelines, assessing various studies on the effectiveness of curcumin-mediated antimicrobial photodynamic therapy (aPDT) in treating oral candidiasis, resulting in the inclusion of 26 relevant studies out of an initial 757 identified.
- Findings indicated that while curcumin-mediated aPDT shows promise, with notable antifungal effects in both lab and animal studies, more randomized control trials are needed to establish its clinical efficacy as a reliable treatment method for oral candidiasis.
