Summary
This summary is machine-generated.

Maxillomandibular deformity (MMD) is linked to body posture, but evidence is limited. While some studies suggest associations, low evidence quality and inconsistent methods necessitate further research.

Area of Science:

  • Orthodontics and Maxillofacial Surgery
  • Biomechanical Engineering
  • Clinical Anatomy

Background:

  • Maxillomandibular deformity (MMD) and body posture are anecdotally linked.
  • No comprehensive review of existing evidence on this association has been conducted.
  • Understanding this relationship is crucial for comprehensive patient assessment and treatment planning.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To systematically review and synthesize the available literature on the association between maxillomandibular deformity and body posture.
  • To evaluate the quality of evidence supporting the correlation between MMD and postural parameters.
  • To identify specific postural changes associated with different types of MMD.

Main Methods:

  • Systematic literature search across major databases (MEDLINE, Scopus, Cochrane Library, Web of Science).
  • Inclusion of 13 clinical studies meeting predefined criteria.
  • Registration of the systematic review in the PROSPERO database.

Main Results:

  • Nine of the 13 studies found a significant association between MMD and body posture or balance.
  • Specific associations included cervical lordosis with skeletal class III MMD, mandibular deviation with scoliosis, and lumbar/pelvic anatomy with MMD.
  • One study noted a correlation between MMD and displacement of the center of mass.

Conclusions:

  • A potential interaction exists between maxillomandibular deformity and body posture.
  • The current evidence level is low, with inconsistent methodologies for assessing posture and MMD.
  • Further high-quality research is required to establish a definitive link and understand the clinical implications, including the potential impact of orthognathic surgery on posture.
