Abstract
The dentomedical implications of residual effects of bulbar poliomyelitis have been
discussed. A case of complete bilateral atrophy of masseter and temporalis muscles
reflecting the tragic dental effects of the disease has been reported.
Hope has been expressed for the possible prevention of residual damage by early diagnosis
and treatment of polio patients. This will require greater cooperation among the healing
professions as well as help from a better-educated public.
