Speakers: Dr. Giuseppe PERINETTI, Dr. Luca CONTARDO, Lecture held within the 3rd International Congress of the Croatian Society of Orthodontics. www.hdo-cso2016.org/eng-default.asp ABSTRACT Scientific evidence for detectable correlations between dental occlusion and body posture is still missing. Recently, several literature surveys and primary studies were performed with the aim of evaluating any possible clinical relevance of such correlations, and to ultimately propose the posturography as a useful diagnostic aid in orthodontics. Taking into account, the poor quality of current evidence with very few randomised clinical trials perfomed, being most of the studies observational without follow-up or controls, the following conclusions may be drawn: 1) Most used posturographic recordings suffer major errors in terms of repeatability; 2) Correlations between dental occlusion and body posture would reach a biological (statistical) significance, although being not clinically relevant. With current evidence, occlusal interventions aimed to treat primarily postural imbalances are not recommended.
