“…In such cases, T-scan III could be used as an occlusal biofeedback employed to facilitate engrams involved in bite dynamics. In this aspect, further research should be conducted on the possibilities of preserving the occlusal force center, force development, and movement of the center of force as well as the center of gravity [ 45 ].…”

The aim of the study was to evaluate occlusal parameters in patients with myofascial pain with referral before and after soft tissue mobilization. The study group consisted of 50 people (37 females and 13 males, average age 23.36 ± 2.14 years) diagnosed with myofascial pain with referral. All patients underwent triplicate soft tissue mobilization. Occlusal parameters were evaluated six times, before and after each treatment, using T-scan III. A decreasing tendency of the occlusion time was observed after the first, second, and third therapy. After the third treatment, the mean occlusion time in the entire study group was 0.119 s. The 1st soft tissue mobilization shortened both right and left disclusion times to 0.181 s and 0.185 s, respectively. After the third treatment, these parameters amounted to 0.159 s and 0.165 s, respectively. The Friedman test for the entire study group indicated that soft tissue mobilization altered the occlusion time and both disclusion times (p < 0.05). In conclusion, soft tissue mobilization affects biotensegrity of the masticatory system, thus modifying occlusal parameters. The occlusion time and both disclusion times cannot be considered as cofactors of the existing temporomandibular disorders—myofascial pain with referral.

“…Westersund et al 348 wrote about the relationship of the craniocervical junction (CCJ) and occlusion. The CCJ consists of the kinematically complex connection between the skull and the first 2 cervical vertebrae, also referred to as the occipital-atlanto-axial joint complex.…”

In 2017, professional literature germane to the clinical practice of prosthodontics was published at an astounding rate. The annual content of over 50 professional journals was searched in its entirety to arrive at this review intended to provide readers with a general clinical update. For convenience, prosthodontics has been divided into 8 subtopics: general prosthodontic considerations, conventional removable complete prosthodontics, conventional removable partial prosthodontics, conventional fixed prosthodontics, general implant prosthodontic considerations, implant removable prosthodontics, implant-fixed prosthodontics, and prosthodontic materials. In addition to the articles selected for review, a sizable volume of excellent general reviews, systematic reviews, meta-analyses, and helpful clinical descriptive materials were also published on topics of prosthodontic interest. Although it would be impractical to provide detailed comments on this voluminous additional material, it is listed here for the reader's convenience: clinical processes, 1-7 anatomy and physiology, 8-20 biomechanics, 21 bruxism, 22-25 conventional complete dentures, 26-28 conventional fixed prosthodontics, 29-33 conventional removable partial prosthodontics, 34-36 diagnosis, 37-43 digital dentistry, 44-47

“…Craniocervical posture (CCP) was also related to several aspects or functions of the stomatognathic system: occlusion, malocclusions, parafunctions, temporomandibular dysfunctions, use of functional orthodontic devices, and patency of the upper airways. [ 5 6 7 ] Westersund et al . [ 5 ] suggested possible interconnectivity between the craniocervical junction and occlusal contacts.…”

Objective: Connections between craniocervical posture (CCP) and changes in teeth position have already been demonstrated; however, the defined pathway of relationship is still not clear. The aim of this study was to evaluate CCP modifications after rapid maxillary expansion therapy using rapid palatal expansion therapy (REP)/McNamara appliances. Materials and Methods: A consecutive series of 35 subjects, aged between 6 and 14 years, with no prior history of orthodontic treatment, and requiring skeletal expansion of the upper arch, were selected and analyzed. All patients were treated with REP or Mcnamara appliance: the active phase of 15 days and retaining phase of 6 months. Cephalometric analysis was carried out before (T0) and after (T1) orthodontic therapy evaluating changes in the craniofacial area and those related to CCP. The obtained data were statistically analyzed for the pre-post changes. Results: No statistically significant difference emerged indicating a modification in the CCP measured at T0 and T1 ( P > 0.05). Patients treated with the McNamara appliance, compared to those treated with REP, showed a higher value of the angle OPT ^ Ver ( P = 0.021), and a lower measure of the angles CVT^EVT ( P = 0.035) and EVT^Ver ( P = 0.023). Furthermore, patients treated with REP showed a higher hyoid angle value than those treated with McNamara ( P = 0.047). Conclusion: This study did not reveal any relationship between the application of palatal expansion therapy and changes in CCP.

Relationship between craniocervical orientation and center of force of occlusion in adults

Abstract: These findings may suggest interconnectivity between the CCJ and an individual's occlusal contacts and support the need for further integration between chiropractors and dentists seeking to co-manage temporomandibular joint disorders.
