Abstrakt:	Background/purpose: There are reports on the relationship between periodontal treatment and the whole body. The purpose of the present study was to investigate the effect of periodontal initial treatment on brain function activity by improving periodontal tissue and the occlusal status of subjects with periodontitis. Materials and Methods: The subjects were 13 patients with periodontitis. Following the patient's informed written consent, the periodontal initial treatment provided to the patient included tooth brushing instruction, scaling and root planning, however, occlusal adjustment was not performed at this stage. Periodontal examination, occlusal force examination and fMRI results were also evaluated at the initial and the reevaluation examinations. Results: After the periodontal initial treatment had been performed, periodontal tissue had significantly improved. In addition, cerebral blood flow in the insula and primary motor cortex was also improved, as confirmed by fMRI. Conclusion: This result suggests that the periodontal ligament has recovered and the periodontal ligament neuron have been further subjected to clenching in the insula.
