Outline of Final Research Achievements

During pulling the corner of mouth, the RMS values of buccinator and levator anguli oris muscles were highest at mandibular rest position. During contacting upper and lower teeth, the RMS values of these facial muscles were proportional to the clenching level. On the other hand, these RMS values of these facial muscles were highest at 50% of maximum voluntary clenching of the teeth. The RMS values of these facial muscles were observed to be lowest at the mandibular rest position and increased as the level of the clenching increased.
It was suggested that the activities of the buccinator and levator anguli oris muscles were decreased due to the influence of contact between the upper and lower teeth.
