简要总结
Objective: This randomized clinical trial assessed antimicrobial Photodynamic Therapy (aPDT) mediated by Photodithazine (PDZ) to treat patients with denture stomatitis (DS). Methodologies: Patients with DS were randomly assigned to the groups: aPDT (n=30) and nystatin (NYS, n=35). aPDT patients received 6 aPDT sessions, three times a week for 15 days, which involved PDZ (200 mg/L) topical application (20 min) on the palate and upper denture, followed by light emitting diode (LED) illumination (660 nm, 50 J/cm²). NYS patients were instructed to rinse one dropper of this medication for one minute, four times a day, for 15 days. Microbiological collections of dentures and palates were performed and cultured on blood agar and CHROMAgar Candida. Microbial viability was determined, and photographs of the palates were taken for clinical evaluation. Data were analyzed by Repeated Measure Linear Model and Bonferroni (p≤0.05).

主要结局
Microbial Viability at baseline
时间窗: The recovery of microorganisms was performed before the tretaments (at the baseline - initial).
The efficacy of the treatments was verified microbiologically at the baseline (initial). For each patient, oral swabs were rubbed onto the palatal mucosa and on the tissue surface of the denture for 1 minute to recover the microorganisms. Each swab was placed into a Falcon tube (Corning, New York, USA) containing 5 mL of 0.9% sterile saline solution and vortexed for 1 minute to suspend the microorganisms from the swab. To evaluate Candida spp. survival and to presumptively identify Candida species by colony color, serial 10-fold dilutions from 100 to 103 were plated in duplicate on Chromagar Candida and incubated at 30 °C for 5 days. Additionally, to assess the total microbiota survival (fungal and bacteria), serial 10-fold dilutions from 102 to 104 were plated onto Blood agar.
Microbial Viability at the end of the treatments
时间窗: The recovery of microorganisms was performed immediately at the end of the treatments.
The efficacy of the treatments was verified microbiologically immediately at the end of the treatments. For each patient, oral swabs were rubbed onto the palatal mucosa and on the tissue surface of the denture for 1 minute to recover the microorganisms. Each swab was placed into a Falcon tube (Corning, New York, USA) containing 5 mL of 0.9% sterile saline solution and vortexed for 1 minute to suspend the microorganisms from the swab. To evaluate Candida spp. survival and to presumptively identify Candida species by colony color, serial 10-fold dilutions from 100 to 103 were plated in duplicate on Chromagar Candida and incubated at 30 °C for 5 days. Additionally, to assess the total microbiota survival (fungal and bacteria), serial 10-fold dilutions from 102 to 104 were plated onto Blood agar.
Microbial Viability on day 15
时间窗: The recovery of microorganisms was performed on day 15 after the end of the treatments.
The efficacy of the treatments was verified microbiologically on day 15 after the end of the treatments. For each patient, oral swabs were rubbed onto the palatal mucosa and on the tissue surface of the denture for 1 minute to recover the microorganisms. Each swab was placed into a Falcon tube (Corning, New York, USA) containing 5 mL of 0.9% sterile saline solution and vortexed for 1 minute to suspend the microorganisms from the swab. To evaluate Candida spp. survival and to presumptively identify Candida species by colony color, serial 10-fold dilutions from 100 to 103 were plated in duplicate on Chromagar Candida and incubated at 30 °C for 5 days. Additionally, to assess the total microbiota survival (fungal and bacteria), serial 10-fold dilutions from 102 to 104 were plated onto Blood agar.
Microbial Viability on day 30
时间窗: The recovery of microorganisms was performed on day 30 after the end of the treatments.
The efficacy of the treatments was verified microbiologically on day 30 after the end of the treatments. For each patient, oral swabs were rubbed onto the palatal mucosa and on the tissue surface of the denture for 1 minute to recover the microorganisms. Each swab was placed into a Falcon tube (Corning, New York, USA) containing 5 mL of 0.9% sterile saline solution and vortexed for 1 minute to suspend the microorganisms from the swab.

Microbial Viability on day 45
时间窗: The recovery of microorganisms was performed on day 45 after the end of the treatments.
The efficacy of the treatments was verified microbiologically on day 45 after the end of the treatments. For each patient, oral swabs were rubbed onto the palatal mucosa and on the tissue surface of the denture for 1 minute to recover the microorganisms. Each swab was placed into a Falcon tube (Corning, New York, USA) containing 5 mL of 0.9% sterile saline solution and vortexed for 1 minute to suspend the microorganisms from the swab. To evaluate Candida spp. survival and to presumptively identify Candida species by colony color, serial 10-fold dilutions from 100 to 103 were plated in duplicate on Chromagar Candida and incubated at 30 °C for 5 days.
