The interdental dimension discrimination (IDD) ability and the swallowing threshold were evaluated at the sitting and supine positions. The difference in the magnitude of mis-estimation of IDD and that in the swallowing threshold between the two positions was significantly correlated. These results indicate some influence of the IDD in the determination of the swallowing threshold.
