“…Regarding the relationship of the cervical spine and the jaw position, there are several studies describing the jaw position and the spine inclination on the basis of the analysis of lateral radiographs. [8][9][10]12,13,31,32 Here, the literature's postulation regarding the use of the upper spine section to substantiated examination procedures for the valid verification of the body posture has been fulfilled. 4,7 As already mentioned by Korbmacher et al, 4 there are no studies on the relationship of the jaw position to the body posture regarding spine sections below the cervical spine that use substantiated study procedures.…”

“…However, some studies negate the existence of correlations between specific orthopedic findings with certain jaw positions. 12, 13 Michelotti et al 7 postulated that even though there are descriptions of an interdependence of the upper cervical spine and the jaw position in the literature, there is no evidence of such a relationship in further caudally located spine sections.…”

Objective: To relate the differences in the posture of patients with different craniofacial morphologies. Subjects and Methods: Fifty-three adult patients with Class II and III malformations were examined by cephalometric analysis and rasterstereography. The facial depth, maxillary position, mandibular plane angle, inner gonial angle, facial axis, and lower facial height were evaluated and classified into a basal distal-mesial group and a horizontal-vertical group by means of threshold parameters. Analyzing the results of the rasterstereography, the spine's lateral perpendicular deviation, the pelvic tilt, and the pelvic rotation were calculated by means of mathematical algorithms on the basis of the three-dimensional spine profile. To determine the statistically significant correlations between the studied parameters, the t-test was applied in groups with a normal distribution, and the Mann-Whitney U-test was used in the cases of abnormally distributed variables (significance level P Ͻ .05). Results: Statistically significant differences (P Ͻ .05) in pelvic torsion were documented with respect to the facial axis and facial depth. Moreover, the differences (P Ͻ .05) between patients with a skeletal horizontal-vertical facial axis and patients with a basal distal-mesial position for the facial depth could be determined for the pelvic torsion. Conclusions: As a clinical consequence of the results, an extension of the interdisciplinary concepts within the sense of an orthopedic examination can be considered for patients undergoing a combined orthodontic-operative therapy.

“…One point open to discussion, however, is that according to scientific evidence the degree of lordosis of the cervical spine declines with increasing age [18]. However, some interdisciplinary studies refute the hypothesis of the existence of Angle Class-specific orthopedic findings [21,64,65]. These studies found no statistically significant correlations between orthopedic findings and sagittal jaw relationship.…”

From anatomic and functional aspects the stomatognathic system and the upper cervical spine are closely interlinked. Together with complex neuromuscular relationships, this gives rise to an important field of cooperation between orthodontics and orthopedics. The literature appeals for close interdisciplinary cooperation for patients with syndromes and for those with torticollis and scoliosis. Since orthopedic points of contact are obvious in these special cases, orthopedic aspects are now being taken increasingly into account in farther-reaching studies. With the rising popularity of manual medicine, these aspects are being recognized from the orthopedic point of view too in terms of functional correlations and are being increasingly debated at international congresses and in the literature. Although relevant publications were initially confined to studies of moderate scientific interest or case reports, potential correlations have undergone scientific investigation in recent interdisciplinary studies. Despite the many clinical studies, no unequivocal recommendation can be given for basic conditions under which an orthopedist is bound to be consulted on patients with orthodontic findings. This literature review is aimed at providing an introduction to this still hotly debated issue.

Morphologic determinants in the etiology of class III malocclusions: A review

Morphospatial disharmony of the craniomaxillary and mandibular complexes may yield apparent mandibular prognathism, but Class III malocclusions can exist with any number of aberrations of the craniofacial complex. Deficient orthocephalization of the cranial base allied with a smaller anterior cranial base component has been implicated in the etiology of Class III malocclusions. Whereas the more acute cranial base angle may affect the articulation of the condyles resulting in their forward displacement, the reduction in anterior cranial size may affect the position of the maxilla. As well, intrinsic skeletal elements of the maxillary complex may be responsible for maxillary hypoplasia that may exacerbate the anterior crossbite seen in the Class III condition. Conversely, with an orthognathic maxilla, condylar hyperplasia and anterior positioning of the condyles at the temporo‐mandibular joint may produce an anterior crossbite. Aside from the skeletal components, soft tissue matrices, particularly labial pressure from the circumoral musculature, may influence the final outcome of craniofacial growth of a child skeletally predisposed to Class III conditions. Indeed, as some Asian ethnic groups demonstrate an increased prevalence of Class III malocclusions, it is likely that the skeletal components and soft tissues matrices are genetically determined. Presumably, the co‐morphologies of the craniomaxillary and mandibular complexes are likely dependent upon candidate genes that undergo gene‐environmental interactions to yield Class III malocclusions. The identification of such genes is a desirable step in unraveling the complexity of Class III malocclusions. With this knowledge, the clinician may elect an early course of dentofacial orthopedic and orthodontic treatments aimed at preventing the development of Class III malocclusions. Clin.
