After obtaining informed consent, macroscopic images of the tongue mucosa and serial images of the lingual mucosa were obtained using an oral mucoscope. The sequential images were montaged and simultaneously magnified images of six regions of the tongue mucosa were acquired. The morphology of the tongue papillae distributed in the mucosa was observed and compared between males and females. With the tongues of the subjects, not only was there a difference in the density of distribution of fungiform papillae between the tongue apex and the central part of the tongue body, but there also seemed to be a clear difference in the shape and size of the filiform papillae. However, both filiform papillae and fungiform papillae showed no clear difference in morphology. We were not able to find any clear differences in morphology, size, or density of distribution between the sexes.}, pages = {241--257}, title = {A Study on the Distribution and Morphology of Lingual Papillae by in vivo Observation of Lingual Mucosa Using a New Diagnostic Device for Oral Mucoscopy}, year = {2022}, yomi = {タカハシ, ジュンコ and サワノ, ヒナコ and アサミ, トモイチロウ and イワサキ, シンイチ} }
