Abstract
Aim. To investigate the state of the gustatory analyzer in dental patients in relation to clinical-biochemical homeostatic parameters of the oral cavity.Material and Methods. We evaluated the functional condition of the gustatory sensitivity organ in 40 patients with common dental diseases (the main group examined) and 40 patients in the control group (with intact dental status), considering the dysfunction of the gustatory analyzer. Drop irritation methods were employed to determine gustatory dysfunction.Results. Our findings suggest that patients in the main group experience disturbances in gustatory sensitivity. These data highlight the cumulative negative impact of local dental factors on the condition of their gustatory analyzer.Conclusion. In dental patients with a high degree of intensity of primary dental diseases and low significance of oral fluid homeostatic potential, there exist impairments in the functional condition of the gustatory analyzer. This is frequently manifested as an increase in the absolute taste threshold.
