[Dysfunction of the chemical senses smell and taste]

Abstract
Dysfunction of the senses of taste and smell may strongly affect our lives. During the last years reliable techniques for the standardized investigation of the 2 senses have been introduced to clinical routine. These techniques are highly standardized and can be easily used, for example, for quality control before and after surgery. Although there are proven therapeutic approaches to taste or smell loss, by far not all patients can be helped. New ideas need to tested within rigorous double-blind studies. The regenerative capacity within the chemical senses provides a major basis for hopes on therapeutic success.
