Prosthetic treatment of patients with a small number of abutment teeth is still a challenging task. Based on electromyographic data, the study aimed to determine the optimal height of the lower face in patients with a small number of abutment teeth and an unfixed bite. Orthopaedic treatment was performed on 38 patients with a small number of teeth and an unfixed bite. The patients were divided into two groups: control and main. The control group (19 people) included patients whose lower facial height was determined by an anatomical and physiological method. In the main group (19 people), the height was determined under the control of electromyography of the masseters and temporalis muscles. All patients had no more than three teeth in the upper or lower jaw. The study showed that in patients of the main group, where the height of the lower part of the face was determined under the control of electromyography, adaptation to dentures was faster – in 2 weeks, while in the control group, this process lasted up to 1 month. In addition, the electromyographic activity of the masticatory muscles in patients of the main group reached a stable level earlier, which indicates more effective functional adaptation. Thus, using electromyography to determine the optimal height of the lower face contributes to the accelerated recovery of masticatory function and better adaptation to removable dentures. The proposed approach can be recommended for clinical use in prosthetic dentistry.
