Relathionships between temporomandibular disfunctions and body posture
Aim: The goal of this study was to compare changes in the body posture before and after correction with occlusal splint. Materials and Methods: Twenty subjects were checked and diagnosed using the RDC/TMD protocol and screened by an EMG device. They were divided in two groups. First group were subjects with orthopedically unstable occlusion, Angle class II or III occlusion with no canine guidance, and non- classifiable malocclusions. Second group consisted of subjects with Angle class I occlusion and no significant findings obtained by RDC/TMD protocol. Both groups were treated with splints. Several tests of body posture, neck and mouth mobility were performed using an infrared optoelectronic system and simultaneous EMG recording. BTS SPORTLAB and BTS TMJOINT (BTS S.p.A., Garbagnate Milanese, Italy) devices and protocols were used to obtain data. All subjects were instructed to wear the splint overnight before the actual recording took place. After the initial recording was done, subjects were allowed to take splints off, and after a meal the recording was repeated, implementing the same protocol. Results: The data was transferred to an appropriate database, and statistically mined for specific patterns and differences using modified chi-square and linear repeated measures analysis. Results didn't show a specific parameter or variable which could be attributed to all of the participants. However, when data was recalculated in form which allowed compensations for group differences, there was a significant distinction between before and after splint wearing between test and control group (p<0, 05). Conclusion: Because of numerous compensation mechanisms and individual responses it is difficult to prove that occlusion influences entire body. Looking at the problem as multivariate and cumulative occurrence proved that connection does exist but that it isn't always simple or easily seen.
