We conclude that the observed differences in the proportion of fibre types between denture wearers and dentate subjects cannot be ascribed to degenerative changes intrinsic to the ageing muscle, but to functional differences in muscle activity and to morphological alterations of stomatognathic system accompanying the complete teeth loss Workplace Institute of Physiology Contact Lucie Trajhanová, lucie.trajhanova@fgu.cas.cz, Tel.: 241 062 400 Year of Publishing 2013
