Clinical examination
observation of the patient while he talks and
smiles.
The patient is asked to show his teeth by
retracting the buccal angles,
to whistle
to pyres the lips against the pressure of the
examiner’s fingers.
slight unilateral weakness may be detected by
asking the patient to blow the cheeks out fully.
Facial nerve


Clinical examination
the platisma function - the patient makes a maximal effort
to draw the lower lip and angle of the mouth downward
and outward, at the same time tensing the skin over the
anterior surface of the neck.
Taste is examined with the use of sugar, tartaric acid,
sodium chloride, quinine, or similar substances. The
patient is instructed to protrude the tongue; a small
quantity of the test substance is gently rubbed on one side
of the tongue and the patient signals identification of the
test substance before drawing the tongue into the mouth
to prevent diffusion of the taste to the opposite side or to
the posterior third of the tongue, thus obscuring the test.
