Clinically, neuroimaging research may help dental professions to understand the association between mental functions and dental treatment. For example, dentists may need to know the sensory processing of a patient who is chewing with an implant‐supported denture. If a dental implant alters the sensory feedback from occlusion, one should expect to identify changes in cortical activation at the sensory area when subjects are chewing. Neuroimaging would be a suitable tool for the study related to the treatment outcomes of dental practice.
