Photodynamic therapy was suggested as an adjunct treatment to scalling and root planing because of the problems caused by systemic antibiotic therapy, such as bacterial resistance, while photodynamic therapy did not cause any bad effects, because of its local effect. Beside this advantage, photodynamic therapy presents others such as low cost, easy application, lower treatment time and possibility of multiple applications. The aim of this study was to review the literature about the effects of photodynamic therapy in aggressive periodontitis, to verify its efficiency as adjunct or monotherapy, through studies about the clinic parameters used by the authors. Eight studies were verified. There were some controversies in this review, like studies that used photodynamic therapy as monotherapy, or used less eficient irradiation protocols, like diode laser 810nm, when the ideal was 660nm. The conclusion of this study is that there are still need for longer studies, with more pacients, to verify the efficacy of photodynamic therapy as adjunct or as monotherapy in the non-surgical treatment of aggressive periodontitis, since some of the present studies used less efficacy irradiation protocols
