 The purpose of this study was to compare the effects of complete dentures on tongue pressure, suprahyoid muscle activity and swallowing function. The subjects were 18 elderly patients (79.5±5.8 years, 14 males and 4 females) aged 65 years or older who routinely used complete dentures on both the upper and lower jaws. The subjects were evaluated on maximal tongue pressure, tongue pressure during effortful swallowing, muscle activity of the suprahyoid muscles during tongue pressure measurement, the repetitive salivary swallowing test (RSST), the revised water swallow test (MWST), and the water swallow test (WST), with and without wearing dentures, and the results were compared between the two conditions. The results showed that maximum tongue pressure without dentures was significantly higher than that with dentures (p=0.001). On the other hand, there were no other significant differences found between the two conditions. The results of this study suggest that the apparent value of maximal tongue pressure may be higher when measured without dentures. Therefore, care should be taken in interpreting tongue pressure data when evaluating maximal tongue pressure in patients without dentures.
