Oral stereognosis is an important sensation for a human being to percept any type of materials that are introduced in the oral cavity. It is defined as the ability of an individual to recognize objects using only tactile sensation without using vision, audition, balance, somatic function, taste, or smell. The primary purpose of this review was to evaluate the effect of complete dentures on oral stereognostic ability in edentulous subjects.
Systematic review based on PRISMA guidelines.
A systematic search of the electronic databases like PubMed and Web of Science was done using keywords - "stereognosis," "oral stereognosis," "complete denture," and "complete edentulism." In addition to this, a manual search of references mentioned in the articles and gray literature was done. Data extraction and assessment were done by two independent reviewers.
Qualitative analysis.
The literature search yielded a total of 61 articles. Thirteen duplicate articles were removed and 36 articles were rejected after initial screening of titles and abstracts. A total of 12 articles were selected for full text reading and 5 of them were included for qualitative analysis.
All the included studies showed complete denture treatment therapy improved stereognostic ability in terms of correct identification of test pieces and time taken to identify the objects. There is also a direct relationship between the adaptability of dentures and stereognostic ability.
口腔味觉是人类感知口腔内任何类型物质的重要感觉。它被定义为个体仅使用触觉识别物体的能力，而不使用视觉、听觉、平衡、躯体感觉、味觉或嗅觉。本次综述的主要目的是评估全口义齿对无牙颌患者口腔味觉能力的影响。
基于 PRISMA 指南的系统评价。
使用关键词“味觉”、“口腔味觉”、“全口义齿”和“完全无牙”，对 PubMed 和 Web of Science 等电子数据库进行系统搜索。此外，还对文章和灰色文献中提到的参考文献进行了手动搜索。由两名独立的评审员进行数据提取和评估。
定性分析。
文献检索共得到 61 篇文章。去除 13 篇重复文章，经标题和摘要初步筛选后，有 36 篇文章被拒绝。共选择 12 篇文章进行全文阅读，其中 5 篇进行定性分析。
所有纳入的研究都表明，全口义齿治疗在正确识别试件和识别物体所需的时间方面都提高了味觉能力。义齿的适应性与味觉能力之间也存在直接关系。
