“…Although this is a negative result, it has medicolegal value for otolaryngologists. This seems also to confirm the findings of Tomofuji et al [13]. Measuring taste by electrogustometry after MLS they did not find any major quantitative impairments of taste.…”

“…tooth extraction [11] or uvulopalatopharyngoplasty [12], MLS [4 Á6]) or even intubation, only a few studies have systematically investigated the occurrence of taste disorders after MLS [1,9,13]. With one exception [13], these studies have not measured taste function, but solely asked the patients whether they experienced taste dysfunctions [1,3,9].…”

“…Previous attempts of easy and quick clinical taste testing have resulted in the creation of electrogustometry [25], which has been used frequently [40,43,47]. Electrogustometry has proven useful to monitor changes before and after oral surgery and to detect side differences of the tongue's taste function.…”

“…In recent years, oral pain phantoms have also been linked to regional oral sensory nerve damage [75-79]. Oral pain phantoms take several different forms, but the one most often described is burning mouth syndrome (BMS), a condition found primarily in post-menopausal women and marked by severe oral pain in the absence of visible pathology [e.g., 80, 81].…”

Oral sensations (i.e., taste, oral somatosensation, retronasal olfaction) are integrated into a composite sense of flavor, which guides dietary choices with long-term health impact. The nerves carrying this input are vulnerable to peripheral damage from multiple sources (e.g., otitis media, tonsillectomy, head injury), and this regional damage can boost sensations elsewhere in the mouth because of central interactions among nerve targets. Mutual inhibition governs this compensatory process, but individual differences lead to variation in whole-mouth outcomes: some individuals are unaffected, others experience severe loss, and some encounter sensory increases that may (if experienced early in life) elevate sweet-fat palatability and body mass. Phantom taste, touch, or pain sensations (e.g., burning mouth syndrome) may also occur, particularly in those expressing the most taste buds. To identify and treat these conditions effectively, emerging clinical tests measure regional vs. whole-mouth sensation, stimulated vs. phantom cues, and oral anatomy. Scaling methods allowing valid group comparisons have strongly aided these efforts. Overall, advances in measuring oral sensory function in health and disease show promise for understanding the varied clinical consequences of nerve damage.
