title: [Functional state of maxillofacial muscles in patients with dentition defects depending on the number of missing antagonist pairs].
abstract: Changes in the functions of maxillofacial muscles were studied in patients with first-class defects of dentition. The mean biopotential of masticatory muscles in patients lacking 1 antagonist pair is 30.4% and in those lacking 4 pairs 59.5% lower vs. the norm. The bio-excess coefficient is 23.7% decreased in subjects lacking 1 antagonist pair and 52% decreased in those lacking 4 antagonist pairs. Hence, the function of maxillofacial muscles depends on the extent of dentition defect.
