Experimental
aPDT group
experimental tongue scrapper group
G1- 40 patient 40 patients will be included in this group. One section of Pdt will be performed with the photosensitizer (PS). PS will be applied in sufficience 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. The apparatus shall be precalibrated at wavelength 660nm for 90 seconds per point.
40 patients will be included in this group. 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
