3.3 Structural changes related to the fungiform papillae
In comparison to the findings of the healthy subjects, changes in both structure and vascularization of fPap have been detected. It is interesting that the parameters of fPap (vascularization and form) seem to have in some patients a tendency to deteriorate after the end of the treatment (in 2 males: from 3/D to 4/A and 4/B). Findings of both measurements, as those of the healthy subjects are presented in Table 4. As it can be appreciated in this Table, despite the remarkable improvement in the EGM-thresholds in all six oral anatomic areas, the changes in form and vascularization of fPap are not completely synchronized.
