Within limitations of this study, milled bar overdentures for All-on-4 implant rehabilitation of atrophied mandible is not less efficient than fixed prostheses in terms of electromyographic activity of the masseter muscle. Both prostheses significantly improve muscle activity, chewing rate, time of masticatory cycle, time of masticatory burst, and masticatory time compared with conventional dentures.
