“…The exclusion criteria were: foot disorders; spinal deviations; myogenous or arthrogenous temporo-mandibular disorders; trauma or surgery that can influence posture; history of neurological diseases, vestibular or visual disturbances or any other pathology that would influence posture; any type of crossbite, open bite or deep bite; extensive occlusal restorations through either large fillings or fixed partial dentures. The TMD patients were excluded from this study because of the significant difference in body posture between subjects with TMD and healthy controls [11].…”

“…The relationship between dental occlusion and posture was also studied in subjects with temporo-mandibular disorders, as well as in physically well-trained or sporty subjects. The study of Nota A. et al demonstrated a significant difference in body postural stability between subjects with myogenous temporo-mandibular disorders and healthy controls, with increased sway area and sway velocity postural parameters in the first group [11]. Dental occlusion can influence posture in air force and civilian pilots [12], while repercussion of dental occlusion upon posture stabilization is suggested in the high level shooters [13].…”

BackgroundPosture is influenced by many factors and dental occlusion seems to have its role on postural stabilization. Our rationale to perform the study was to find out if there are differences of static plantar pressure and stabilometric parameters depending on different dental conditions. MethodsThe observational study consisted in plantar pressure assessment and stabilometric analysis of 95 right-handed healthy volunteer subjects (mean age 22.94 ± 2.52 years) by using the PoData system. Each subject followed four measurements with open eyes: mandibular postural position, maximum intercuspation, biting on cotton rolls and maximum mouth opening. Plantar pressure was recorded on 1 st and 5 th metatarsal heads and heel, and was expressed as percentage of weight distribution on each foot. The recorded centre of pressure (CoP) parameters were: CoP path length, 90%confidence ellipse area and maximum CoP speed. Statistical analysis used repeated-measures ANOVA with Bonferroni posthoc analysis and Friedman test.

“…A study (Nota et al, ) showed a significant difference in body postural stability in between subjects with myogenous TMD and healthy controls, in increase in the amplitude of sway area and sway velocity postural parameters in maximum intercuspidation and rest positions, with eyes open. Already, the present study showed that the effect of use of occlusal splint and guidelines of therapeutic exercises in subjects with TMD, for 12 weeks, that were observed an increase in the velocity of the COP displacement in the antero‐posterior direction under the conditions with eyes open and closed without a corresponding increase in the amplitude of sway can be interpreted as an attempt at postural readjustment.…”

“…in these functions are frequently observed in patients who complain of dizziness, being such one of the most common symptoms either in otological or in neurological clinics (Cuccia & Caradonna, 2009). The most frequently used technique to study postural control consists of evaluating the oscillation of body during erect and resting posture by means of a force platform (Nota, Tecco, Ehsani, Padulo, & Baldini, 2017;Rubira et al, 2010). Studies that use the electromyographic activity of masseter and temporal muscles (Nicolakis et al, 2001;Visscher, Huddleston Slater, Lobbezoo, & Naeije, 2000) have shown that displacement of the most anterior position of head may occur in individuals with temporomandibular joint disorder (TMJD) due to changes in jaw's resting position (Nicolakis et al, 2001).…”

The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of the use of an occlusal splint on postural balance considering the occlusal splint as a device for treating temporomandibular joint disorder. A randomized, controlled, prospective clinical trial was conducted. The research group consisted of 49 patients (36 as test group and 13 as control group) between 18 and 75 years old, both genders, diagnosed as temporomandibular disorder by Research Diagnostic Criteria/Temporomandibular Disorders questionnaire and magnetic resonance imaging of the temporomandibular joints. Test group was treated with orientations for physiotherapeutic exercises and occlusal splint, whereas control group received orientation for physiotherapeutic exercises only. Postural equilibrium was evaluated by means of a force plate. After 12 weeks, the groups were re‐evaluated. Patients from both groups presented a significant increase in antero‐posterior speed with eyes closed, test group ( P < 0.001) and control group ( P = 0.046). Only patients of the test group presented a significant increase in antero‐posterior speed with eyes opened ( P = 0.023). We concluded that the use of occlusal splint affected the postural balance.

“…As the proprioceptive inputs of the stomatognathic system (a functional unit that comprises the oral cavity, the temporomandibular joint (TMJ) and masticatory muscles) are processed in tandem with information from the vestibular and oculomotor systems [ 19 ], disturbances of the sensory information from the stomatognathic system may negatively affect postural stability. There is, however, mixed evidence on the impact of TMJ problems, another aspect of poor oral health, on postural stability [ 20 – 22 ].…”

BackgroundDental caries and periodontitis are associated with elevated levels of pro-inflammatory cytokines which may trigger muscle fatigue during exercise, a strong risk factor for sports injuries. Fixed orthodontic appliances (FOA) may cause poor oral health and may disturb proprioceptive inputs of the stomatognathic system. This study aims to explore associations of poor oral health and of use of a FOA with injury frequency and postural stability.MethodsOne hundred eighty seven Belgian elite junior male soccer players, aged 12–17 years, completed a self-report questionnaire asking about injuries in the past year, oral health problems, use of a FOA, demographics and sports data, and stood in unipedal stance with eyes closed on a force plate to assess postural stability.ResultsOrdinal logistic regression with number of injuries in the past year as ordinal dependent variable and dental caries and/or gum problems, age and player position as covariates, showed that participants who reported dental caries and/or gum problems and never had had a FOA reported significant more injuries in the past year compared to the reference group of participants who reported no oral health problems and never had had a FOA (adjusted OR = 2.45; 95% CI, 1.19–5.05; p = 0.015). A 2 (temporomandibular joint problems) × 2 (FOA) × 2 (age) ANOVA with postural stabilities as dependent variables, showed a significant FOA x age interaction for the non-dominant (standing) leg. Post-hoc t-tests showed a significant better postural stability for the non-dominant leg (and a trend for the dominant leg) for the older compared with the younger participants in the non-FOA group (p = .002, ES = 0.61), while no age differences were found in the FOA-group.ConclusionsThese results indicate that poor oral health may be an injury risk factor and that a FOA may hinder the development of body postural stability.
