[Current concepts in neuromuscular occlusion]

Occlusal dysfunction is explained on the light of neuromuscular theory. The emphasis is focused on the interaction of occlusion and posture, the way posture modifies occlusion and occlusion modifies posture. The author proposes to include occlusal dysfunction in the wider group of postural dysfunctions defining if this disfunction is originated in occlusal parameters or in postural conditions when the diagnosis is made.
