- Highlights • Systematic review on the effectiveness of aPDT as a supplementary tool in the treatment of deep caries lesions. • Searches were performed in four databases and the electronic archives of five journals from 1st January, 2011 until 21st June, 2016 with six articles meeting all inclusion criteria. • aPDT protocols involved Methylene Blue, Toluidine Blue and aluminium-chloride-phthalocyanine as photosensitizers and diode lasers, light-emitting diodes and halogen light-sources. • The data from five of the six reports disclosed significant reduction of cariogenic bacterial load after mechanical caries removal with adjunct aPDT. • As these studies exhibit some methodological limitations, e.g . lack of positive controls, this systematic review can support the application of aPDT to a limited extent only.
