Laser therapy
The low-power, infrared (808nm wavelength) diode laser with a power of 100mW will be used. The mode of irradiation is punctual, in contact and perpendicular to the dental surface. Three points on the crown of multiradicular teeth (mesial and distal of the cervical region and central part of the tooth lesion) and two points on the crown of unirradicular teeth (central point of the cervical region and central part of the tooth lesion) will be irradiated for 10s per point , 1J per point, with a 72-hour interval between treatment sessions. The distance between the irradiation points will be about 2 mm. The tip of the laser equipment will be positioned perpendicular to the application site.
Fluorotherapy
The treatment will be carried out with the application of fluoride varnish, with the aid of a microbrush. After the application, water will be dripped onto the applied varnish in order to promote its drying. Fluorotherapy will be performed once a week, totaling 4 sessions.
Laser therapy and Fluorotherapy
This group will be treated first with the laser (same specifications as Laser therapy), followed by application of fluoride varnish (same specifications as Fluorotherapy).
