The influences of head and body posture on the mandibular rest position, the range of functional movements, and the initial tooth contact have been documented. In this investigation, the modifications of the position of the center of foot pressure during natural standing were studied in 30 women. The subjects were divided into three groups: healthy women (control), women with an asymmetric (unilateral) Angle class II malocclusion, and women with temporomandibular disorders. Data were acquired in 30-second trials by use of a force plate that allowed a separate assessment of each foot while the subjects maintained different dental positions: rest position; centric occlusion; maximum clench; occlusion on two cotton rolls placed on the mandibular teeth distal to the canines; and maximum clench on two cotton rolls. Bivariate analysis was used to compute the mean values and relevant variability for the center of foot pressure location during each trial. The results demonstrated that the modifications of foot center of pressure were not influenced by temporomandibular disorders and asymmetric malocclusion or by different dental positions. |
