D. Caradonna, Carola Caradonna, Giuseppa Bilello
The involvement of the occlusion within the ambit of postural control
has been the subject of a large number of studies over the last ten years
and still arouses considerable interest not only among odontologists
but also in the world of medicine as a whole.
In this paper, the Authors
examine the correlation between the stomatognatic system and postural
control in evolution age.
After describing the postural system, the
Autrors illustrate the different methods for examinations that can used
to analyse body posture and the occlusion in orthodontic patients.
