Summary
Dental occlusion issues and posture problems are linked. The PostureScreen® Mobile app can help dentists identify early signs of dental occlusion pathology.
Area of Science:
- Dentistry
- Orthodontics
- Biomechanical Analysis
Background:
- Dental occlusion anomalies can influence overall body posture.
- Early detection of these correlations is crucial for comprehensive patient care.
Purpose of the Study:
- To assess the utility of the PostureScreen® Mobile app for dentists.
- To evaluate the correlation between malocclusion and posture using this tool.
Main Methods:
- 29 subjects underwent dental occlusion and postural assessments.
- PostureScreen® Mobile app, a photographic method, was used for postural examination.
- Subjects were grouped based on static and dynamic occlusion features for comparison.
Main Results:
- Significant postural differences were observed between Angle Class groups (1 vs. 2 and 3).
- Differences in posture were noted between passive interference and active premature contact groups during left lateral movements.
- No significant differences were found for protrusion and right lateral movements.
Conclusions:
- Dental occlusion and posture modifications are potentially interrelated.
- The PostureScreen® Mobile app shows promise as a valuable tool for early diagnosis of dental occlusion pathology.

Correlation means that there is a relationship between two or more variables (such as ice cream consumption and crime), but this relationship does not necessarily imply cause and effect. When two variables are correlated, it simply means that as one variable changes, so does the other. We can measure correlation by calculating a statistic known as a correlation coefficient. A correlation coefficient is a number from -1 to +1 that indicates the strength and direction of the relationship between...

Statistical tests can calculate whether there is a relationship, or correlation, between independent and dependent variables. An indirect relationship of the variables signifies a correlation, while a direct relationship shows causation. If it is determined that no connection exists between the variables, then the correlation is a coincidence.

In statistics, two variables are said to be correlated if the values of one variable are associated with the other variable. Depending on the relationship between two variables, correlation can be of three types– positive correlation, negative correlation, and zero correlation.
Two variables, for example, a and b, are said to be positively correlated if both variables move in the same direction. In other words, a positive correlation exists between two variables, a and b, if:

In statistics, correlation describes the degree of association between two variables. In the subfield of linear regression, correlation is mathematically expressed by the correlation coefficient, which describes the strength and direction of the relationship between two variables. The coefficient is symbolically represented by 'r' and ranges from -1 to +1. A positive value indicates a positive correlation where the two variables move in the same direction. A negative value suggests a...

01:12Coefficient of Correlation

The correlation coefficient, r, developed by Karl Pearson in the early 1900s, is numerical and provides a measure of strength and direction of the linear association between the independent variable x and the dependent variable y.
If you suspect a linear relationship between x and y, then r can measure how strong the linear relationship is.
What the VALUE of r tells us:
The value of r is always between –1 and +1: –1 ≤ r ≤ 1.
The size of the correlation r indicates the...

1.5K
Spearman's rank correlation test, also known as Spearman's rho, is a nonparametric method for assessing the strength and direction of association between two variables. This test is particularly valuable when the data distribution is unknown or when the assumption of normality does not hold. Named after the English psychologist and statistician Dr. Charles Edward Spearman, it serves as the nonparametric counterpart to Pearson's correlation coefficient.
