| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
We verified the relationship between brain activity and clenching of masticatory muscles with various bite force. Regional brain activity were investigated during jaw clenching with natural teeth and with two type occlusal splints using functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI). Sixteen healthy volunteers were enrolled in this study. Blood oxygenation level-dependent (BOLD) fMRI signals were compared under three conditions. BOLD signals during clenching with natural teeth increased in BA44, 45, and the cerebellum. BOLD signals increased in those areas and in BA17, 18 during clenching with a soft splint. Use of the hard splint increased the BOLD signals in BA6 and BA20, 37 in addition to the areas previously mentioned. BOLD signals in the left BA6, the left BA20, 37, and the right BA44, 45 were significantly higher during clenching with a hard splint than with natural teeth. These regions are associated with motor coordination, memory, and cognition, respectively
