The mean age of the 27 participants was 86.1 (6.8) years. The vallecular residue was more in those without dentures (with dentures: 0.01 [0 - 0.02], without dentures: 0.03 [0 - 0.08]; P = 0.003). The pyriform sinus residue showed no significant difference. Denture removal significantly increased the pharyngeal area. The distance between the maxilla and mandible decreased in the absence of dentures. Oral/pharyngeal transit time was prolonged without dentures.
