Size of Wound Area |
The wound area will be assessed by means of a clinical picture. The picture will be taken with an angulation perpendicular to the wound. A periodontal probe will be placed by the wound as a reference scale. Wound area is defined as the area without epithelization. The wound area on the picture will be measured by ImageJ. |
