ABSTRACT
Taste sensation were evaluated in 50 cases of Oral Submucous Fibrosis. Ankyloglossia was present in 28% and ulceration of tongue in 6% of cases. None of the cases had subjective impairment of taste sensation. Electrogustometry revealed impairment of taste in 46% of cases. Ankyloglossia was found to be related with the severity of Oral Submucous Fibrosis but impairment of taste was not related with the severity of the disease. The possible mechanism of the impairment of taste is discussed in brief.
