Influence of the mandibular position on various postural anatomical segments. Cranio. 2024 Mar;42(2):223-231. doi: 10.1080/08869634.2021.19342760886-963410.1080/08869634.2021.1934276https://hdl.handle.net/20.500.14352/130805Objective: 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.engjournal article2151-0903https://doi.org/10.1080/08869634.2021.193427634061720https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.1080/08869634.2021.1934276?scroll=top&needAccess=truehttps://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/34061720/restricted access616.314.2:612.76Dental occlusionBody postureMusculoskeletal equilibriumPostural balanceStanding positionOdontología (Odontología)Oclusión dentalSistema musculoesquelético3213.13 Ortodoncia-Estomatología
