Interventions
Control group: The use of unpowered laser as placebo.
Intervention 1: Intervention group 1: The use of diode laser for reducing gingival inflammation
Diode laser with the wave length of 940 nm and the power of 1.5 w is radiated using a fiber with the diameter of 300nm. the radiation pulse is 20 ms/s. 0.5 mm of the head of the instrument is located
One drop of 1% methylene blue solution is dropped in gingival sulcus and excess of the solution is washed off with water. Then diode laser with the wave length of 940 nm and the power of 1.5 w is radi
