Regulation of Mandibular Postures: Mechanisms and Clinical Implications

Abstract: This review argues that (1) the habitual mandibular position is constantly variable and so cannot be considered as a craniomandibular reference point, (2) there is no unique centric relation, (3) mandibular posture greatly depends on head posture, (4) clinical evaluation of the occlusal vertical dimension is mostly empirical, and (5) neither the vertical dimension at rest nor the centric relation can be determined by means of existing instrument-based clinical methods. However, some physiological conditions ex… Show more

“…However, Bassi et al [8] believe that the MSS appears to be more reliable than the FS, as increasing the thickness of the palate vault causes a marked lowering of the mandible during speech. Woda et al [23] also argue that habitual mandibular positions are variable, but some physiological conditions exist, which influence craniomandibular position. Consequently, in this study, we found that patients with TMD demonstrate a tendency for daytime airway collapse (Fig.…”

“…A musculatura suboccipital, de acordo com a literatura [7], está apenas relacionada à postura da cabeça. Entretanto, os dados revelaram que houve ativação dessa musculatura diante da sobrecarrega nos exercícios da língua em sujeitos Classe II/2ª divisão.…”

“…On the other hand, it is possible that the patients tend to push the lower jaw forward because of displacement of the tongue by the registration plates while recording the functional area. One way to counter this phenomenon is to ask the patient to retract the mandible during the tapping movements [20]. But the difference of more than 3 mm between the muscular dependent neuromuscular position and the more joint-related centric relation seems to be very high and therefore be a risk to rehabilitate the patient in a too protrusive position.…”
