Brief Summary   This study is a randomised parallel trial with a split mouth design, assessing the effectiveness of photodynamic therapy using Anthocyanin-curcumin as a photosensitizer gel. One side of the mucosa receives photodynamic therapy (PDT), whereas the other side of the same patient receives photobiomodulation therapy  (PBT) as a comparator. Totally 30 sites are included in this study. This study is conducted only in India for a period of 2 years duration and further the primary outcome is measured by reduction in the lesion size and the secondary outcome is measured by assessing the reduction in pain score.
