- Primary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method Evaluation of scar repair. The measurement of the outcome related to the scar repair of the injury will be carried out using a caliper, in which, in the initial consultations, 24h, 72h, 7 days and 14 days, two measurements will be taken: buccolingual (d) and mesiodistal (D ) of the injury, in order to observe the healing process. Such measurements will be made in triplicate, then obtaining an arithmetic average to which the following formula will be applied, in order to obtain the area: (A= p. d. D/4). To measure the contraction of the lesion, the initial area will be subtracted from the other areas (24h, 72h, 7 days and 14 days).
