“…There are many known correlations between musculature controlling eye movements and the stomatognatic system (14). Several studies (4,5,15) have shown the relationships of dental occlusion, the oculomotor system and visual stabilization. Gangloff et al (15) reported that alterations of the manducatory system could induce a perturbation of the visual stabilization and generate postural imbalance.…”

SUMMARYObjective. The purpose of the study was to analyze the association between dento-skeletal malocclusions, ocular motility, and convergence disorders in growing subjects. Materials and methods. 84 subjects (49 males, 35 females) with a mean age of 7.3±1.7 years were enrolled in a screening procedure for celiac disease at the Department of Gastroenterology of the University of Rome "Tor Vergata". Each child underwent an orthodontic, orthoptic, and ophtalmological examination. Pearson's Chi-Square test with Yates' correction and Fisher's exact test were conducted to assess the association between orthoptic defects and malocclusions (p<0.05).Results. Ocular motility disorders were present in 44.9% of males and in 57.1% of females, while convergence defects were present in 10.2% of males and in 2.9% of females. Ocular motility disorders were more frequent in subjects with Angle Class III malocclusion (66.7%) than in subjects with Angle Class II (59.1%) and Class I (45.8%) malocclusion. Convergence defects were equally frequent in Angle Class I and Class II malocclusion (5.1%), while none subject presenting with Angle Class III malocclusion exhibited convergence defects. A statistically significant correlations was found between ocular motility disorders and unilateral cross-bite with midline deviation. Conclusion. Ocular motility defects had a significant greater prevalence in subjects presenting with unilateral cross-bite and midline deviation. The importance of role of orthodontic diagnosis among interdisciplinary treatment in growing children should be recognized.

“…The most commonly evaluated parameters are sway length/velocity and area traversed based upon sequential locations of the COP in the plane of the force platform, and the displacement of the COP mean location on the X and Y axis (Gangloff et al, 2000;Manfredini et al, 2012).…”

a b s t r a c tAim of the study: To evaluate the intersession reliability of a posturo-stabilometric examination. Methods: Single blind clinical trial conducted in two sessions over two weeks. 44 healthy volunteers free from postural and temporomandibular disorders. All the subjects complied with the criteria for completing the study. All the subjects underwent two sessions of posturo-stabilometric examinations in different visual and mandibular conditions. Sway area, sway length and the coordinates of the center of pressure were evaluated and statistically analyzed using the Intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC). Conclusions:The posturo-stabilometric examination carried out using a force platform has a good intrasession and intersession reliability, especially considering sway velocity, COP X and COP Y parameters. The force platform usefulness in analyzing static posture is confirmed in any medical field.

“…In patients suffering from discrepancies of the masticatory system there is also a significant association between the side of the cephalic rotation and a contra-lateral deviation of the mandibular incisive midline 74 ; -in a study conducted by P. Gangloff of participants in riflery sports 35 , the stabilization of sight was found to have an effect on postural control through mediation of the dental occlusion; -Michelotti et al 63 studied patients with posterior cross bites using a stabilometer platform and found in two modalities, occlusion at maximum inter-cuspation and a position with teeth held comfortably apart with cotton rolls. They found the cross bites had no effect on the stability of bodily posture.…”

“…Children with Class III skeletal malocclusions present a significantly lower extent of cervical lordosis than those with skeletal Class I or II occlusions 26 . On the other hand, children with Class II skeletal malocclusions have significantly increased cervical lordosis compared with children with Class I or II occlusions 26 , and subjects in Class II keep their heads more forward to a significant extent 34 ; -a study conducted using a posturographic platform showed that subjects in Class II had body posture projected forward and those with Class III malocclusions a bodily posture projected backward 68 ; -a negative correlation exists between cervical lordosis and mandibular length 31 ; -many studies seem to indicate that the afferent impulses of the trigeminal participate in the relationship of occlusion and postural regulation 35,36 . They allege that there is an inter-dependence between the sensory and motor innervations of the trigeminal nerve and the cervical complex 20 ;…”
