“…Even if some studies (Baldini et al, 2013a,b;Michelotti et al, 2006) demonstrated that the sway area is the most sensitive parameter for evaluating the correlation between dental occlusion and posture, the gnathologist should remember that this parameter is poorly reliable when the examination is carried out in the cotton rolls position and thus its use should probably be limited to diagnostic considerations in a single session and not within a longer therapeutic plan.…”

“…These associations are the subject of an ongoing discussion as evidence has been published both in support of their existence (Bracco et al, 2004;Manfredini et al, 2012;Sakaguchi et al, 2007) and in disagreement with it (Michelotti et al, 2006;Perinetti, 2006). Moreover some criticism was made against the use of stabilometric platform as a trustworthy instrument.…”

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.

Objectives: To assess the potential correlations between anatomical and functional asymmetry in the stomatognathic system and body posture impairments.Methods: Literature search using the Medline, SCOPUS, LILACS and SciELO databases, the Cochrane Library and a manual search. Experimental and observational studies were included with no restrictions as to the type of asymmetry. Type of asymmetry, treatment and/ or recording conditions, follow-up, postural examinations, main results and clinical implication were extracted, and risk of bias was assessed.Results: Eleven articles (including one randomized clinical trial) were retrieved. The risk of bias was medium in 6 studies and high in the remaining investigations. Only three studies, all with a high risk of bias and without follow-up, reported significant correlations between the asymmetry in the stomatognathic system and body posture impairments.Discussion: According to the limited present evidence, asymmetry in the stomatognathic system does not appear to correlate with body posture impairments at a clinically relevant level.

“…In patients suffering from discrepancies of the masticatory system there is also a significant association between the side of the cephalic rotation and a contra-lateral deviation of the mandibular incisive midline 74 ; -in a study conducted by P. Gangloff of participants in riflery sports 35 , the stabilization of sight was found to have an effect on postural control through mediation of the dental occlusion; -Michelotti et al 63 studied patients with posterior cross bites using a stabilometer platform and found in two modalities, occlusion at maximum inter-cuspation and a position with teeth held comfortably apart with cotton rolls. They found the cross bites had no effect on the stability of bodily posture.…”
