| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Clinical research: we evaluated the relationship between a stomatognathic function, which closely relate with gastrointestinal function, and a malocclusion. In the patients with scissors-bite, the chewing pattern and activities of both the temporalis and the masseter muscles were significantly narrower and lower, respectively. In the patients with molar cross-bite, the reverse chewing pattern during deliberate unilateral mastication was significantly more frequently observed. Those results suggest that gastrointestinal function in patients with scissors-bite or cross-bite malocclusion may be low.
Basic research: we focused on the vagal nerve dominating the visceral sensation. As a result of cervical vagal stimulation, it was observed the rhythmic muscle activity of mylohyoid which means swallowing with salivary secretion. From this study, it was suggested that visceral sensation is involved in activation of stomatognathic functions including salivation and swallowing.
