| Research Abstract |
The patients consulting at a dental clinic by complaints for pains with temporomandibular joint and mouth opening difficulty have been increased recently. There are many patients having a habit to make upper and lower teeth come in contact unconsciously. Because it is performed by the commander from brain unconsciously, it is important to this habit to examine a neuralgic condition of the brain. We irradiate a head with light about the activity of the brain and can understand the activated condition of the brain from the variation of the absorbed dose of the light. In this study, as for the habit which had to make upper and lower teeth come in contact unconsciously, the active condition of the frontal right side neighborhood was found to decrease using this technique.
