Materials and methods: The study comprised 90 dental implant patients between the ages of 50 and 60 compared with 90 partially edentulous and\u000090 fully dentate individuals who were age and gender-matched. The participants'\u0000cognition status was tested using the Self-Administered Gero-cognitive Examination (SAGE) test, which classified them into poor and good.

One chemical was investigated for each\u0000taste quality (salt and sweet), and each component was delivered at five different\u0000concentrations. The enzyme-linked immunosorbent test (ELISA) kit measured\u0000salivary Acetylcholinesterase. Spss 22 Chicago Illionis USA was used to examine the data. Results: There was a significant association between sweet and salt\u0000taste thresholds and the patient's groups, as the higher patient occurrence concerning the lowest taste threshold was found for the dentate patients.\u0000In comparison, the higher patient occurrence for the highest taste threshold was\u0000found for the partially edentulous patients. Data analysis showed a significant association between cognitive status and sweet and salt taste threshold for the implant patient group, as the percentage of patients with the lowest taste threshold\u0000was higher for good cognitive status; the same result was found concerning partially edentulous and fully dentate patients; however, the association was not significant.
