The purpose of this study was to investigate whether there were any changes in taste sensitivity with recurrent aphthous ulceration. Nintyseven subjects(25 males and 72 females) were included for the study and they were categorized into 2 groups(recurrent aphthous ulceration 27 persons, control 70 persons), recurrent aphthous ulceration group was investigated in the department of Oral Medicine, College of Dentistry, Pusan National University from April, 2005 to August, 2006 and control group was investigated in the clinic at Incheon city from June, 2006 to August, 2006. The electrical taste thresholds were measured using an electrogustometer of the 4 different sites(tongue tip, tongue lateral, circumvallate papilla and soft palate) in oral cavity.
The results were as follows ;
1. The electrical taste threshold showed significant lower in the RAU group.
2. The electrical taste threshold showed significant lower in female group, and showed significant lower except soft palate in male group of the RAU group.
3. The electrical taste threshold showed a tendency to increase in all site of the multiple RAU group, but there were no significant differences.
4. The electrical taste threshold showed a tendency to increase in tongue lateral of the acute RAU group, and showed a tendency to increase in tongue tip, circumvallate papilla, soft palate of the chronic RAU group.
5. After treatment, electrical taste threshold was significant increase than initial visit in the RAU group.
6. After treatment, NAS showed a tendency to decrease in the RAU group.
