ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVE: To study postural changes, taking into account different mandibular positions and the cephalic and plantar body segments. METHODS: A cross-sectional, descriptive, clinical, and observational study was carried out on 76 patients, (mean age 28.79 years), in whom body posture and plantar support were evaluated in the maximum mandibular intercuspal position and the mandibular rest position without dental contact. RESULTS: When the mandibular position was altered, 71.01% of the patients showed changes in the bipupillary line (p = 0.008), while those who did not show such changes did, however, show changes in plantar support. More than 85% of the sample experienced alterations in the plantar plane when the mandibular position was changed, with statistically significant results (p < 0.001). CONCLUSION: There is a positive relationship between the different segments in body posture. In the sample, changes in plantar support with respect to the different mandibular positions were noticeable.
ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVE: To determine postural changes in relation to mandibular position in maximum intercuspation and at rest in adult patients of both sexes. METHODS: : A descriptive observational clinical study was carried out in 76 patients. Using an analyzer and the Meersseman test, the necessary dermal points for postural analysis were located. RESULTS: : The authors found significant differences in the posture adopted by the patient between maximum intercuspation and mandibular rest in the frontal, sagittal, and dorsal planes. Foot support in the right foot went from cavus to normal in 6% of the sample, and from flat to normal in 2.5% of the sample in the jaw rest position. CONCLUSION: Postural changes were observed in various segments, with clinical and statistical significance at cervical level in the frontal plane, in the biscapular variable in the dorsal plane, and at the level of the lower limbs in the bipopliteal and bimalleolar variables.
ABSTRACT
El objetivo de este artículo es determinar la relevancia clínica que estos trastornos tienen sobre el sistema estomatognático. Se llevó a cabo una revisión bibliográfica del tema en los últimos diez años. Resultados: El aparato estomatognático interviene en la regulación de la postura corporal, recibiendo información propioceptiva y exteroceptiva de los músculos, los tendones, la lengua, el ligamento periodontal, superficies oclusales y la articulación témporo-mandibular. Ante la presencia de una maloclusión, se producen alteraciones musculares para compensar los movimientos patológicos de lateralidad, retrusión o protrusión mandibular, en busca de equilibrio postural. Conclusiones: El odontólogo como profesional de la salud tiene la responsabilidad de conocer la relación entre ambas disciplinas y prever las posibles consecuencias (AU)
The aim of this article is to determine the clinical relevance that these disorders have on the stomatognathic system. A bibliographic review of the topic was carried out during the last ten years. Results: The stomatognathic apparatus intervenes in the regulation of the body posture, receiving proprioceptive information obtained by chewing muscles, tendons, tongue, periodontal ligament, occlusal surfaces and temporomandibular joint. This system is considered as a mechanical disturbing element of the posture. In the presence of a malocclusion, alterations occur to compensate for the pathological movements of laterality, retrusion or mandibular protrusion, in search of postural balance. Conclusions: The dentist as a health professional has the responsibility to know the relationship between both disciplines and to foresee the possible consequences (AU)
