Research Abstract |
From comparison of the tongue movement with masticatory function of the young and elderly dentate, it was suggested that the elderly were coping with the change that took place with aging by supplementing the workload necessary for the formation of the bolus of food by extending the duration of tongue contact over a large area within the palate. The results suggested that elderly dentate were necessary to take the tongue exercise. These phenomenon appeared more clearly in the elderly complete denture wearers. The complete denture wearers had to take the more tongue exercise, and thought to be necessary to give the thickness to the palatal part of the denture base.
