Arms of the Study
Arm 1
Arm 2
Experimental
Active Comparator
experimental PDT group
control tongue scrapper group
G1-20 patients Photodynamic therapy with methylene blue as photosensitizer device irradiation with low intensity laser (wave length = 660 nm) 9 J (Joules) per point (6 points) and radiant 90 seconds. Photosensitiser (PS) will be applied in sufficient quantity to cover the middle third and back of the tongue and wait for 5 minutes.Six points with the distances of 1 cm between them will be irradiated.
G2-20 patients Tongue scrapping will be performed by the same operator in all patients. Posterior -anterior movements will be performed with the scrapper over the lingual dorsum in order to promote the mechanical removal of tongue coating
