Purpose: The aim of the study was to evaluate the effect of two different occlusal plane orientations (Ala tragus line and Retro molar pad) on electromyographic activity of masseter and anterior temporalis muscles and sound production in complete denture wearers. Material and methods: Ten completely edentulous patients’ ages ranged from 55-65years. All patients had received two dentures first denture was made according to Ala tragus line (Group І) and second denture was made according to retro molar pad (Group ІІ).
