ABSTRACT: A shortened dental arch without posterior occlusal support has been thought to maintain sufficient oral function. The mechanism of occlusal adaptation with a shortened dental arch is unclear. For a better understanding of the effects of molar teeth on brain function, the authors combined experimentally- shortened dental arches and a neuro-imaging technique. Regional cerebral blood volume was measured using near-infrared optical topography during maximum voluntary clenching tasks from 10 subjects on individually fabricated oral appliances, which can create experimentally complete and shortened dental arches. Results suggested that clenching on the complete dental ...
