Chemical cleaning methods for prostheses colonized by Candida spp.: A systematic review

ConclusionsThe evaluated studies presented a high risk of bias and weak evidence of the effects of chemical agents to reduce CFU counts of Candida spp. Only chlorhexidine and chlorine dioxide demonstrated some evidence of a reduction in Candida spp. colonization. Clinical trials with better methodological designs should be performed to clarify the effectiveness of these solutions in prosthesis decontamination.
