Eligibility

Age
18 Years to 60 Years

Inclusion criteria

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
It is expected to find a significant improvement in the nerve regeneration of patients treated surgically by the oral and maxillofacial surgery team, through the visual analogue scale and the mechanoreceptor test, carried out using a soft bristle brush. It is understood that the use of laser therapy can increase the patient's neurosensory response by 20%

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
It is expected to verify which facial sensory nerve responded best to the therapy performed
