Interventions
This is a two-arm, open-label, randomized controlled clinical trial. Participants will be divided into two groups: a control group, which will undergo mechanical stimulation of the salivary glands to
and an experimental group, which will undergo mechanical stimulation of the salivary glands and concomitant photobiostimulation with a low-level laser. Each group will consist of thirty individuals. A
