Forty-two subjects, 20 with and 22 without clinically diagnosed tardive dyskinesia (TD), were rated for TD on the scale of Simpson et al. They also performed a tongue protrusion test and had the presence of tongue movements within the buccal cavity observed. Fifty per cent of the severe or definite
The incidence of high blood pressure in adults is estimated at ca. 30-40% of the general population. Both hypertension disease and hypertensive drugs affect the condition of the patients' oral cavity. A review of the current literature shows that disorders most frequently found in the masticatory
Recently, patients receiving the long-term administration of typical antipsychotics have been recognized to be at risk of developing intractable tardive dystonia. A 44-year-old man was referred to our hospital because of progressive dysphagia for about 5 years. He had received several typical
Impairments in taste perception may be caused by a number of factors, including the presence of Candida albicans in the oral cavity. We attempted to establish whether the presence of Candida albicans on the tongue is a cause of taste disorders by studying taste disorders in patients with candidosis
The authors describe a case of dysgeusia that occurred during the recovery period after a tonsillectomy. The cause was thought to be a lesion to the lingual branch of the glossopharyngeal nerve because of the location of the symptoms at the posterior region of the buccal cavity and because of the

Adverse reaction to medication is common and may have a variety of clinical manifestations in the oral cavity. The present review paper aimed to describe adverse drug reactions (ADRs) which might be encountered by dental practitioners in every discipline.

BACKGROUND
Chorda tympani injury as a complication of middle-ear surgery has been extensively studied with regard to its effects upon taste. However, the chorda tympani also carries parasympathetic fibres to the salivary glands of the oral cavity. To date, little has been reported about the effect
OBJECTIVE
The objective of this study was to examine the restoration process of taste perception in patients after reconstruction of the tongue using microvascular forearm flaps.
METHODS
Twelve patients, aged 28 to 70 years with a mean of 59.6 years consisting of 9 men and 3 women, were enrolled in
Numerous adverse drug reactions (ADR) manifest in the oral cavity and orofacial region. Dentists and other health professionals commonly encounter and manage these adverse effects however, due to lack of awareness and training, they are not always recognised as being drug-induced nor reported to
BACKGROUND
Besides anamnestic data and taste test, the clarification of epithelial taste disorders makes macroscopic evaluation of the surface of the tongue necessary.
METHODS
In this article the contact endoscopy is evaluated for examination of the tongue epithelium and for quantification of the
This study aims to investigate the relationship between smokeless tobacco (maras powder) consumption and otorhinolaryngological symptoms.This descriptive study was carried out on 599 participants. The participants were divided into two groups. Of these, 299 Edentulousness, by disrupting trigeminal propioceptive input from the oral cavity to the basal ganglia, may increase the risk for neuroleptic-induced orofacial dyskinesia. Since lesions of the globus pallidus alter trigeminal sensory-induced reflexive neck muscle activity in rats and the
Gilles de la Tourette's syndrome, a familial neurologic disorder with onset in early life, is characterized by chronic intermittent motor and vocal tics. Many of the orofacial tics and compulsive behaviors seen in this disorder may cause destructive oral lesions. The medications used in treating the
BACKGROUND
The mammalian taste bud, a complex collection of taste sensory cells, supporting cells, and immature basal cells, is the structural unit for detecting taste stimuli in the oral cavity. Even though the cells of the taste bud undergo constant turnover, the structural homeostasis of the bud
