Abstract

The swallowing threshold of 40 subjects with bilateral missing of molars was tested. The results were as follows : 1) The swallowing threshold of the patients with bilateral missing of molars was higher than that of the normal control subjects. 2) The swallowing threshold of the patients with bilateral missing of molars was higher than that of the full denture wearer. 3) The swallowing threshold of the patients with bilateral missing of molars was different according to the quality and quantity of the test food.
