“…This may well be due to the higher sensibility of this parameter to occlusal modifications (Baldini et al, 2013a,b;. Perinetti et al (2012) analyzed the intersession reliability after 30 min, 1 day and 7 days from the first test, and found that sway area had a good reliability and COP X and COP Y to be poorly reliable, contrarily to our results. The sway velocity in this study appeared to be a reliable parameter according to the ICC values for the sway length.…”

a b s t r a c tAim of the study: To evaluate the intersession reliability of a posturo-stabilometric examination. Methods: Single blind clinical trial conducted in two sessions over two weeks. 44 healthy volunteers free from postural and temporomandibular disorders. All the subjects complied with the criteria for completing the study. All the subjects underwent two sessions of posturo-stabilometric examinations in different visual and mandibular conditions. Sway area, sway length and the coordinates of the center of pressure were evaluated and statistically analyzed using the Intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC). Conclusions:The posturo-stabilometric examination carried out using a force platform has a good intrasession and intersession reliability, especially considering sway velocity, COP X and COP Y parameters. The force platform usefulness in analyzing static posture is confirmed in any medical field.

“…In agreement with what is said by Perinetti et al (2012), given that dental occlusion causes statistically significant but low variations on the sway area and that in rest or centric occlusion mandibular positions its reliability improves, its usefulness in following a gnathological therapeutic plan should be investigated further.…”

“…Perinetti and colleagues (systematic reviews) suggested that a biological but not clinical correlation between the SS and the whole‐body posture can be detected, at least experimentally . This group also critically discussed the relevance of posturography in the monitoring of body posture . In this regard, in their narrative review, Manfredini et al pointed out that no consistent association between dental occlusion and body posture can be detected with the available posturographic techniques.…”

Background:In the past few years, growing interest was given to the relationship between the dental occlusion and the body balance. While most research focused on this relationship at static conditions, it is evident that the contribution of the sensory information for balance control is different depending on the environmental constraints. Research question:The aim of the present paper was to elucidate whether the stomatognathic system (SS) contributes differently on body balance regulation according to the presence of external disturbances. Methods:Literature regarding the different sources involved in the proprioceptive information to the SS was reviewed. The influence of dental occlusion on balance control at different external environments was then explored. Results:The main findings are: (a) a plausible evidence between the masticatory and cervical muscles can be described; (b) a reciprocal connection between the trigeminal and vestibular nuclei supports the influence of the SS on body balance; (c) traditionally, research involving the relationship between the SS and balance control has focused on strictly controlled situations, thus, ignoring the sensory reweighting which occurs depending on the external disturbances; and (d) the afferences of dental occlusion for balance control seem strengthened when more difficult conditions are present. Conclusion:Results of the present review suggest that afferent signals from dental occlusion effectively contribute to balance control when more external perturbations are present, that is unstable support surface, fatigue and tasks being performed.However, more studies are needed to elucidate the mechanisms by which dental occlusion may influence balance control focusing on different external environments.

Objective: To assess the degree of facial asymmetry associated with subjects with unilateral functional crossbite (CB) in the primary, early/intermediate, and late mixed dentition phases in comparison with a group of subjects without CB. Subjects and Methods: A group of 234 white subjects, 78 with CB (42 girls and 36 boys) and 156 without CB (73 girls and 83 boys), aged 3.9-11.9, grouped according to the dentition phase, were included. Three-dimensional laser scans of the subjects' faces were used to assess facial asymmetry. For each part of the face two-way multivariate analysis of covariance was performed to assess differences among the subjects, and an independent sample t-test was used to assess the significance of the differences between data sets. Results: Within all dentition phases, the subjects with CB had statistically significantly greater facial asymmetry of the whole face than the subjects without CB, with the greatest values in the lower part of the face (P , .05). In the middle part of the face a significant difference was observed in the mixed dentition phases. Conclusions: Children with unilateral functional CB exhibited a greater facial asymmetry than children without this malocclusion in all the dentition phases herein investigated. The greatest differences were seen for the lower part of the face. Further, facial asymmetry in the middle part of the face became clinically relevant in combination with the transition from primary to mixed dentition phase. (Angle Orthod. 2013;83:253-258.)
