When performing a tongue reduction a frequently asked question is how operation will influence taste of the patient. Different kinds of taste tests are designed, most of these being non-specific ways to determine taste sensation in which high concentration of taste solutions are used to detect if a person is able to taste. To be able to judge the influence of tongue reduction on taste we wanted to develop a validated test that could be used in early childhood. No specific tasting areas were found. This test can be used to evaluate tongue reduction procedures.
在进行舌缩小手术时，人们经常会问到手术会如何影响患者的味觉。为此设计了各种不同的味觉测试，其中大多数都是非特异性的方法，用于确定味觉感受，使用高浓度的味觉溶液来检测人是否能够品尝。为了能够判断舌缩小对味觉的影响，我们希望开发一种可在幼儿期使用的经过验证的测试。没有发现特定的味觉区域。该测试可用于评估舌缩小手术。
