An article is presented on the topical problem of therapeutic dentistry to determine the discriminatory sensitivity of the tongue in glossalgia in patients who have undergone COVID-19 at the stage of rehabilitation Purpose: to determine the discriminatory sensitivity of the tongue in glossalgia in patients undergoing COVID-19 in the rehabilitation stage. Materials and methods: the study included 88 patients aged 35 - 70 years, of which 51 patients with glossalgia who underwent COVID 19 and had inflammatory diseases of the oral mucosa were included in the main group, of whom 36 were women, 15 were men; 37 patients with glossalgia who did not suffer from COVID 19, of which 29 were women, 8 were men in the comparison group; 20 healthy individuals served as controls. Examination of the oral cavity of patients with glossalgia was carried out when patients applied to the therapeutic dentistry polyclinic of the TGSI, while filling out a dental questionnaire, carried out photo and video documentation. The average age of the patients was 52.57 ± 1.20 years. Determination of the deep discriminator}' sensitivity of the tongue was carried out, based on the measurement in units of length (mm) by Weber’s compass of the zone of the mucous membrane of the tongue. The studies were carried out at a room temperature of 18-20 degrees using a Weber compass. The branches of the Weber compass simultaneously touch the examined area of the mucous membrane of the tip of the tongue. At the same time, the minimum distance between the sections of the mucous membrane of the tongue was determined, when the patient under study clearly distinguished the touch of both branches of the compass. Research results and discussion.lt should be noted that when measuring with Weber's compass, the discriminatory sensitivity of the tip of the tongue was 2.92 ± 0.01 mm in the main group, 2.45 ± 0.01 mm in the comparison group, in the control group in healthy individuals the discriminatory sensitivity was 1.1 ± 0.01 mm. From the obtained measurement results, carried out in patients of both clinical groups, it follows that deep tactile sensitivity was significantly (p <0.01) reduced in patients with glossalgia, especially in persons who had undergone COVID 19 (main group) and patients with glossalgia who did not COVID 19 versus control group Conclusions. The presented study results obtained in patients with glossalgia who underwent COVID-19 showed a significant (p <0.01) decrease in the discriminatory sensitivity of the language, which once again proves the psychoemotional nature of glossalgia who underwent COVID-19 during the rehabilita.
