• Abstract

  Scientific evidences show that there is difference on pain experienced between men and women, and that the sensory variability of women can be due to variations of ovarian hormones during the menstrual cycle. The aim of this study is to investigate the somatosensory (thermal, pain, tactile, vibration and electric), gustative and olfactory thresholds during the menstrual cycle of healthy w…

• Abstract

  Among the evidences of cellular and molecular mechanisms underlying Alzheimer´s Disease (AD), the brain inflammation and cytokines remain with undefined role, but can be associated to the development and progression of AD. Studies suggest that peripheral infection and inflammation may alter the inflammatory state of the central nervous system, and among the infections, the oral cavity is …

• Abstract

  Burning mouth syndrome (BMS) is a painful condition characterized by burning sensation at the tongue, palato and/or gingiva, in the absence of primary injury or any disease. The most accepted theory is the disinhibition of the trigeminal nerve by the corda tympani nerve dysfunction. On the other hand, it is known that xerostomia can also cause burning mouth due to the role of saliva in th…

• Abstract

  The sensitivities are forms of perception of the external environment and, therefore, have importance in many body functions. There is a complex sensory interaction, especially in the orofacial region, which includes the role of olfaction in taste, but little is known about the influence of temperature on taste perception of the subjects. Therefore, the objective of this study is to inves…

• Abstract

  The aging process results in abnormalities that can compromise the autonomy and quality of life of the elderly. Sensibility reduces with age and neurological olfactory changes are associated to neurodegenerative diseases. The oral sensibility depends on the signal transduction and saliva has an important role in that. The objective of this study is to investigate the thresholds of somesth…
