 As an in vivo imaging method, neuroimaging has become the crucial method for studying the perceptual and psychosocial aspects of oral functions, which are difficult to approach with animal models.

 Recent neuroimaging findings suggest that beyond sensory processing, the attentional and cognitive processing related to wearing a denture may play a vital role in the adaptation of prosthodontic treatment. Neuroimaging research provides new clues for prosthodontic treatment by highlighting the patient’s adaptation to dental devices.

 Neuroimaging is a valuable tool for investigating the sensory pathway of periodontal inputs and the association between periodontal health and systemic conditions.
