Have you ever wondered why doctors often ask you to stick out your tongue during a routine check-up? While it may seem like a ...

A test bed for examining this question is the tongue dorsum, which harbors a complex and important microbial community. Here, we use multiplexed fluorescence spectral imaging to investigate the ...

The scientists collected the tongue microbiota from the center area of the tongue dorsum using a modified electric toothbrush as a sampling device, and used next-generation sequencing approaches ...

The epithelium of the buccal mucosa, palate and undersurface of the tongue is different from that of the dorsum of the tongue. One may be involved without the other and certainly may differ in its ...

After removing saliva from the tongue dorsum with cotton and a stream of air, any tongue accretion between the lingual papillae was carefully removed using 3 scratching strokes (approximately 1 cm ...

The size and internal arrangement of these fragments of biofilm led them to conclude that they represented the spatial arrangement of the bacteria at various levels of the tongue dorsum faithfully ...

A 33-year-old man presented at our clinic with a 4-month history of an erythematous, atrophic area on the dorsum of the tongue, accompanied by a painful burning sensation (Figure 1). He was ...
