“…Our results showed that the younger group had higher test scores than the older group, except for comparisons between the 20s and 30s age groups. This result is consistent with previous studies (17)(18)(19)(20). The older the subjects, the more frequently they misidentified test pieces in other groups rather than in the same group.…”

Rehabilitation for dysfunctions of eatingand swallowing should be considered in terms of not only motor but also sensory function. Sensory information from a bolus in the mouth plays an important role in eating and swallowing. Therefore, this study investigated oral stereognosis in 184 healthy adults with normal eating and swallowing function in order to obtain normative data. Oral stereognosis was assessed by using 20 intra-oral test pieces with different shapes. The subjects manipulated the test pieces in the mouth and identified their shapes. At this time, the test scores and response times for answering were recorded. The results revealed differences in oral stereognosis depending on the age of the subjects and the test pieces employed. The younger group had higher test scores and shorter response times than the older group, except for comparisons between the 20s and 30s age groups. In addition, response time was negative correlated with test scores (r = −0.956, P < 0.001). These results indicate that oral stereognosis decreases with age.

“…When the effects of palatal coverage were assessed (14) in dentate and edentulous subjects (with and without dentures), palatal coverage per se did not intelfere with recognition of fOlms (although older subjects identified fewer forms than the younger ones). Oral perception levels were similar either in dentate or edentulous subjects without relationship between oral stereognosis and masticatory ability (15) although dentate individuals had cOITectly identified test forms more often and in a shol1er time when compared with individuals who had no natural teeth (16).…”

Oral stereognosis is the neurosensorial ability of the oral mucous membrane to recognize and discrinunate the forms of objects in the oral cavity. The sensorial ability of the tongue, lips, thumbs and index fingers is greater than that of other parts of the body. Therefore, a dentist's understanding of oral stereognosis is important to understand the expectations of patients during complete denture treatment. A MEDLINE literature search within the periods of 1944 to 2003 and with the keywords "oral" "stereognosis" "complete" and "dentures" found twenty articles. Articles concerning sensory function, test type, oral-motor diseases, dentate status (including osseointegrated implants) and patient satisfaction with complete dentures were considered. After reviewing the literature, we have reached a number of conclusions: 1) A lack of standardization exists in stereognostic testing; 2) Stereognostic ability diminishes with age (number of correct responses and longer times for recognition); 3) Stereognosis can improve with training; 4) Degree of satisfaction is not related to a high or low oral perception level; 5) The use of complete dentures during the rehabilitation of patients with neuromotor disorders enhances oral sensation; 6) and implant-supported prosthesis provides stereognostic levels near that of natural dentition.
