Summary

Cranio-cervico-mandibular disorders impact posture. Stabilimetry revealed that dental orthotic therapy rebalanced the postural system, leading to pain symptom remission in 64% of patients.

Area of Science:

  • Investigates the biomechanical relationship between dental occlusion and overall body posture.
  • Utilizes stabilimetry to quantify postural control and body sway.

Context:

  • Cranio-cervico-mandibular disorders (CCMD) are associated with postural disturbances.
  • Malocclusion can significantly influence the body's balance mechanisms.

Purpose:

  • To evaluate postural changes in patients with CCMDs before and after malocclusion treatment using stabilimetry.
  • To assess the effectiveness of orthotic therapy in rebalancing the postural system.

Summary:

  • A stabilimetric platform analyzed posture in 60 CCMD patients before and after dental treatment.
  • Results indicated that orthotic therapy rebalanced the postural system without impacting the visual system.
  • Significant pain symptom remission (64%) was observed post-treatment.

Impact:

  • Highlights the importance of a holistic approach to treating CCMDs, considering the interplay between dental health and posture.
  • Provides evidence for the efficacy of orthotic therapy in managing CCMDs and improving patient outcomes.
