“…The biochemical linkages discussed above may explain structural changes in individuals with ocular pathologies (ocular convergence defects vs. lateral mandibular deviation [ 39 ], astigmatism vs. crossbite [ 40 ], myopia vs. Class II division 1 malocclusion [ 41 ]). Bollero et al (2017) noted ocular motor defects versus crossbite and midline deviation [ 42 ], and that there is a correlation between TMDs occurrence and visual impairment prevalence [ 43 ] ( Figure 3 ).…”

The Organ of Vision and the Stomatognathic System—Review of Association Studies and Evidence-Based Discussion

The stomatognathic system is a functional complex of tissues and organs located within the oral and craniofacial cavities. The craniofacial anatomical factors and the biomechanics of the temporomandibular joints affect many systems throughout the body, including the organ of vision. However, few scientific reports have shown a relationship between the organ of vision and the stomatognathic system. The purpose of this review is to provide an overview of connections along neural, muscle-fascial, and biochemical pathways between the organ of vision and the stomatognathic system. Based on the literature presented in this review, the connections between the organ of vision and the stomatognathic system seem undeniable. Understanding the anatomical, physiological, and biochemical interrelationships may allow to explain the interactions between the mentioned systems. According to the current knowledge, it is not possible to indicate the main linking pathway; presumably, it may be a combination of several presented pathways. The awareness of this relationship among dentists, ophthalmologists, physiotherapists, and optometrists should increase for the better diagnosis and treatment of patients.

Objectives:The study deals with the identifying correlations between visual acuity and Class I vs Class II skeletal pattern. Methods: A total of seventy subjects were enrolled in the study with age ranging from 11-29 years. Using ANB angle, they were equally divided in two groups (Class I, Class II). Visual acuity of each subject were measured and correlated with each group. Descriptive statistics was compiled and comparison between the groups was made using t-test and Mann-Whitney U test followed by Pearson's correlation. Level of statistical significance was set at p≤0.05. Findings: The mean age difference between Class I and Class II samples was -0.74 and not statistically significant, indicating that the samples for both categories were of comparable ages. On comparison of visual acuity of right eye, there were 22.7% subjects with myopia in Class I compared to 77.3% in Class II, and this difference in proportion was statistically significant (ES=0.429). In left eye, 25.0% of Class I subjects had myopia, whereas 75.0 % in Class II, and this difference in proportion was also statistically significant (ES=0.328). Positive Pearson's correlation was found between ANB and Visual acuity of right eye (r=0.165). Novelty: This study concludes that Class II skeletal pattern subjects have more tendency to develop myopia. Further research involving other eye parameters are required to understand the cause-effect relationship.

“…Cuccia and Caradonna [ 32 ] found similar observations in patients with temporomandibular joint displacements. Vompi and colleagues [ 116 ] also reported on 100 TMD patients a significant increase in ocular convergence insufficiency but also ocular deviation such as phorias and tropias as well as astigmatism compared to controls. Similar observations were made with dental malocclusion concerning tropia, phoria, ocular convergence defects, astigmatism, and myopia [ 117 ].…”

Mild traumatic brain injury (mTBI) and whiplash injury (WI) may lead to long-term disabling consequences known as post-concussive syndrome (PCS) and whiplash-associated disorders (WADs). PCS and WAD patients commonly complain of conditions encompassing dizziness, vertigo, headache, neck pain, visual complaints, anxiety, and neurocognitive dysfunctions. A proper medical work-up is a priority in order to rule out any acute treatable consequences. However investigations may remain poorly conclusive. Gathered in the head and neck structures, the ocular sensorimotor, the vestibular, and the cervical proprioceptive systems, all involved in postural control, may be damaged by mTBI or WI. Their dysfunctions are associated with a wide range of functional disorders including symptoms reported by PCS and WAD patients. In addition, the stomatognathic system needs to be specifically assessed particularly when associated to WI. Evidence for considering the post-traumatic impairment of these systems in PCS and WAD-related symptoms is still lacking but seems promising. Furthermore, few studies have considered the assessment and/or treatment of these widely interconnected systems from a comprehensive perspective. We argue that further research focusing on consequences of mTBI and WI on the systems involved in the postural control are necessary in order to bring new perspective of treatment.
