Morphologic-functional changes in edentulous patients include:
1) collapsed cheeks and lips, drooping mouth corners;
2) atrophy in maxillary slope of alveolar process directed outwards;
3) reduction of muscle tension;
4) enhancement of articular tuberculae, deepening of articular surfaces, condyle of mandible are shifted anteriorly;
5) less vascularized mucosa, healing and regeneration is impaired;
6) increase of salivary secretion;
7) compensatory hyperplasia of the tongue.
