The purpose of this study was to evaluate tongue pressure of palatal region in normal dentulous subjects. The tongue pressure measuring system with 36 rubber-made pressure sensors was constructed for this study. This system applied to three normal dentulous subjects and measured tongue pressure of palatal region when subjects were swallowing. Results were as follows : 1. Although the tongue pressure measuring system was useful to evaluate tongue pressure of palatal region, it was thought that some improvements were required about the position of the sensor and the analyzing software. 2. The maximum tongue pressure when natural swallowing was 85.0g/cm^2 in the early stage, 43.0g/cm^2 in the middle stage, and 53.0g/cm^2 in the late stage. Mean value was 60.3g/cm^2. 3. Tongue pressed anterior region of palate in the early stage of swallowing, central region of palate in the middle stage of swallowing, and central and posterior regions of palate in the late stage of swallowing.
