| Research Abstract |
In general, maxillaty complete denture cover palatal palate extensively. This study suggested that palatal coverage disturbed tongue motor ability and sensorimotor coordination in mastication.
Based on the limited experimental conditions, we concluded that wearing a Plate, which did not cover the middle part of the palate, had no effect on masticatory efficiency and did not disturb oral sensorimotor control of the masticatory mechanism, while full palatal covereage reduced masticatory efficiency and might have an influence on the relationship between oral stereognostic ability and mastication.
