Intraoral currents and taste thresholds

K Nilner, B Nilsson

    Swedish Dental Journal
    |January 1, 1982
    PubMed
    Summary
    This summary is machine-generated.

    Patients with oral symptoms like metallic taste have lower electric taste thresholds. Intraoral currents from dental materials did not differ between symptomatic and control groups, suggesting taste perception is altered, not current generation.

    Area of Science:

    • Oral Medicine
    • Biomaterials Science
    • Sensory Science

    Background:

    • Oral symptoms such as metallic or battery taste can be linked to dental restorative materials.
    • Metallic contacts between different dental alloys can generate intraoral currents.
    • The relationship between these intraoral currents and altered taste perception requires further investigation.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To investigate the relationship between intraoral currents and taste perception thresholds in patients with oral symptoms.
    • To compare taste perception thresholds and intraoral current magnitudes between patients with and without oral symptoms.

    Main Methods:

    • Electrogustometric method used to determine taste threshold levels.
    • Intraoral currents calculated from potential and polarization measurements.

  • Comparison between a group of patients with oral symptoms and a randomly selected control group.

    • Main Results:

    • Patients experiencing oral symptoms exhibited significantly lower taste threshold levels for electric taste stimulation.
    • No statistically significant differences were found in the magnitudes of intraoral currents between the symptomatic and control groups.
    • This suggests that altered taste perception, rather than current generation, is associated with these oral symptoms.

    Conclusions:

    • Individuals with specific oral symptoms, such as metallic taste, demonstrate heightened sensitivity to electric taste stimuli.
    • The generation of intraoral currents by dental restorative materials does not appear to be the primary cause of these altered taste perceptions.
    • Further research is needed to elucidate the mechanisms underlying taste alterations in patients with oral symptoms potentially related to dental materials.
