Abstract
Measurement of mandibular movement and electromyographic activity of masticatory muscles have improved remarkably with computer technology. I have developed a new system to analyse stomatognathic function which can be used by dentists in private practice. To test it clinically, evaluation of function of old and new dentures in two patients and their ability to chew different foodstuffs were made using this system.
The results were as follows:
1) this new system proved to be effective for evaluation of function of old and new dentures
2) chewing ability and biting force improved with new dentures.
