Sensitivity plays a key role in oral function, whose impairment strongly affects the patient's quality of life. Cheek myomucosal flaps provide a reliable and tissue\u2010like reconstruction of these regions but their sensitive recovery, which we still know little about, deserves thorough assessment.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title><jats:p>In this retrospective study, the myomucosal cheek flaps were tested for different aspects of sensory recovery: touch; 2\u2010point discrimination; pain; sharp\/smooth discrimination; ability to feel hot\/cold stimulus; stereognosis; and taste.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Results<\/jats:title><jats:p>Fifty\u2010two myomucosal flap reconstructions were investigated.
