title: [Perception of gustatory sensation after treatment of the third branch trigeminal nerve and lingual nerve by peripheral alcohol injection].
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  Objective testing was an aim of the examination whether excluding the sensory zone of the tongue is causing the slope of the gustatory sensitivity after alcoholic blocks.
  
  
  METHODS
  Material is embracing 15 ill neuralgia treated in a maxillary-facial surgical clinic in Poznań because of neuralgia, in the age on average 60 years, which one should block the sensory leadership of the mandibular nerve with alcohol at and additionally lingual branch. There were 6 women and 9 men amongst treated patients.
  
  
  RESULTS
  Objective electrogustomertic examinations demonstrated worsening the gustatory sensitivity with the Pruszewicz's method at 86.7% of ill, on the alcoholised side of the lingual nerve, however at stayed impressions of the gustatory sensitivity were located in upper limits of the norm.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  Worsening gustatory impressions isn't forming with injuring of the of chorda tympani fibres but it is an effect of bearing feeling surface in the area of the innervation through the lingual nerve after of it alcoholization.
