“…Le risque parodontal et carieux est accru et l'hygiène bucco-dentaire doit être particulièrement suivie [21][22][42][43][44][45][46]. Les troubles de la déglutition vont des simples fausses routes aux pneumopathies d'inhalation pouvant engager le pronostic vital du patient [47][48][49][50][51][52][53][54][55]. Ils sont accentués par l'hyposialie et par les perturbations neuro-musculaires.…”

“…Community having more aged population, the diagnosis and treatment for impaired eating and swallowing functions, which were led by the growing number of the seniors along with the constant increase in the patients of cerebrovascular disorders, gain prominent attention [1][2][3][4][5]. In order to deal with this issue, the roles of oral somatic and taste perceptions for food consumption and gulping process have been highly studied [6][7][8].…”

We previously reported that senior aged people display reduced stereognostic efficiency of the tongue compared to the young adults, and suggested the feasibility of getting over this situation applying the training protocol mentioned by us. The same important issue to the development of therapy for decreased function is study on prevention of aging-dependent functional decline. Early prevention of the oral stereognostic ability decrement might be the better option while investigation of the issues should be considered during the early onset of the conditions in aged patients.This study was conducted to understand the efficiency of tongue's stereognostic characteristics for middle-aged people with a comparative understanding with young adults. This analysis related to tongue was conducted in 78 young adults (mean age: 24.5 years) and 33 middle-agers (mean age: 50.5 years). The method applied in this study contained 20 varied shaped test pieces in the oral cavity of the subjects. The observations revealed that most of the young adults were able to identify different shaped test pieces compare to the older participants (mean correct number of responses: 16.8 and 15.2, respectively; p<0.001). Depending on the shapes the test pieces were divided into six groups. It was found that misidentification of a piece by the young participants lead to selection of similar piece belonging to the same group. Selection of pieces from other group was almost nil. On the other hand, the older participants (middle-agers) also identified test pieces less often from separate groups. Differences in degree of decrease in the stereognostic ability between middle-agers and seniors whose ability was reported previously were also discussed.

“…In geriatrics, swallowing difficulties are frequent and remain a problem for the medical staff [10]. They manifest themselves most often during meals by signs from the simple cough of expectoration to the systematic false passage.…”

“…The movements of the tongue and chewing are strongly unsettled, and the ascent of the larynx and the hyoid bone are incomplete. It results in a partial persistence of the bolus in the oral cavity after swallowing, and a stagnation of particles in the pharynx [10][11].…”

“…If food is not correctly crushed, not twisted and not impregnated with saliva, the bolus will been broken up, too dry, not homogeneous and can stagnate in the oral cavity without being able to be completely swallowed [8,24,[29][30][31][32]. The adaptation of the texture of food and (mixed, smooth, thickened) drinks is the answer most usually adopted in geriatrics to resolve the problem of mastication and constitution of the bolus [10].…”
