Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
It is expected to find a reduction in the infectious infiltrate, through the use of methylene blue laser therapy, using the microbiological analysis of the lesion. We will observe throughout the treatment, the microbiological load before, during and after the treatment.<br>
Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
It is expected to find a reduction in the lesion area, through the use of methylene blue laser therapy, using the analysis of the process in tissue repair using the PUSH scale. We will observe throughout the treatment, the reduction of the lesion area, exudate and granulation tissue, before, during and after the treatment.
