Summary An analysis of integrated electromyographic (IEMG) activity masseter and anterior temporal muscles was undertaken in fifteen patients with complete dentures eight adult subjects natural dentition. Bipolar surface electrodes were used for IEMG recordings during maximal voluntary clenching saliva swallowing the inter‐cuspal position. The both significantly lower than During similar groups. This may have a great clinical significance maintenance functional state different structures stomatognathic system denture wearers, since process is 24‐h function repeated about 600–2400 times each day.
