Functional jaw muscle assessment in patients with a full fixed prosthesis on a limited number of implants: A review of the literature.

Conclusions: The results of selected studies seem to indicate that, compared to dentate controls, FFP patients display a global satisfactory neuromuscular equilibrium in static activities, but still have some impairment during chewing. Conflict-of-interest statement: The authors declare that they have no conflict of interest. PMID: 24977251 [PubMed - in process]
