| Popis: | Aim of this study is analyze the effects of dental occlusion on postural stability in patients with previous whiplash and normal occlusion. Materials and methods: 36 adult patients with previous whiplash and normal occlusion (good alignment, 1 st class or mild 2 nd class deep bite for mandibular retrusion) were selected. The patients were suffering from masticatory muscles pain caused by clenching during sleep. Exclusion criteria: use of psych drugs. To simulate the conditions of sleep (with a reduction of proprio-and esteroceptive inputs for postural management performed by CNS), we used postural Romberg analysis (feet together, closed eyes)on stabilometric platform changing occlusal parameters only, under the following conditions: 1) in occlusal rest position, 2) in centric occlusion, 3) in clenching, 4) with occlusal disengage with cotton rolls and 5) in clenching on cotton rolls. Time of each test: 15 seconds. It was performed a statistical analysis with T-test comparing between them the mean of all tests. Results: stabilometry data (postural ball and ellipse) show better postural performances in centric occlusion and clenching in centric occlusion, and a worsening in all tests with occlusal disengage (with statistically significant difference - p |
