| Research Abstract |
We evaluated the effects of various task like jaw opening, jaw closure and tooth contact on the masseter muscle by using both MRI and MRS. The eigenvalues of the diffusion tenser were affected by the jaw position. Moreover, recruitment of the specific muscle fibers within the masseter muscle was reflected in differing changes at the different position. The T 2 of the masseter muscle was expected to decrease with contraction because the increased intramuscular pressure caused the decrease of per fusion and to increase rapidly after the contraction, because of the reactive hyperemia. After the rapid increase, it decreased gradually. Finally, we evaluated the Pi/PCr ratio, which was indicative of the concentration of ADP by using 31P-MRS. It increase during tooth contact, however, it decrease immediately after tooth contact, and after 5 minutes, it declined to the same level as at rest.
