}}[[File:VEMP.jpg|Figure 1: Vestibula Evoked Myogenic Potentials (see chapter '[[Complex Systems]]'|left|300x300px]]In this section of Masticationpedia we will deal with a much discussed topic in the field of prosthetic rehabilitation and in the diagnosis of Orofacial disorders including Temporomandibular dysfunctions. As we shall see, there is a line between proponents of the correlation between posture and the trigeminal system and those who refute the correlation. To confirm or deny this correlation, it would be enough to focus the attention on the VEMPs (Myogenic Vestibular Evoked Potentials) to understand the neuronal synergism but it would be necessary to pay equal attention to the synaptic modulations that occur in this phenomenon to understand how much we still know about the aforementioned trigeminal/vestibular correlation. Just think of the roll effect and evaluate the click-evoked cervical vestibular myogenic potentials (VEMPS) during the visual roll motion that elicited an illusory sensation of self-movement (i.e., vection). During vetion, there is an increase in cVEMP amplitude that is positively correlated with subjective reports of vection strength. The experimental conclusion is, therefore, that the simple subjective sensation of section is able to modulate the response of VEMPs and that this higher-level cortical phenomenon can also extend to short-lasting vestibulospinal responses. Therefore, regardless of who will be right over time, one must always be very careful in evaluating the symptoms and clinical signs reported by patients and not be influenced by more or less fashionable axioms which can generate even serious errors in the differential diagnosis such as in clinical case that we will present below. | |||

The authors of the scientific reports, who recognize the associations between the systems in question, give two indications for the possible interactions. The first, i.e. ascending disturbances, refers to the situation in which bad posture and disturbances of the peripheral structures (e.g. lower limbs), through myofascial neuromotor activities and the dura mater, functionally condition the cranio-mandibular structures. Conversely, a chain of descending disorders is present when anomalies of the craniomandibular region affect posture and body areas located more distally, including the pelvis and lower extremities.<ref name=":0" /><ref name=":11">Michalakis K.X., Kamalakidis S.N., Pissiotis A.L., Hirayama H.

VEMPs, translated into Myogenic Vestibular Evoked Potentials are proof of this. Acoustic stimuli can evoke EMG reflex responses in the masseter muscle called Vestibular Evoked Myogenic Potentials (VEMPs). Although these findings have previously been attributed to activation of cochlear (high-intensity sound) receptors, these may also activate vestibular receptors. Because anatomical and physiological studies in both animals and humans have demonstrated that the masseter muscles are a target for vestibular inputs, the authors of this study reevaluated the vestibular contribution for masseter reflexes. This is a typical example of a basic level 'Complex System' as it consists of only two cranial nervous systems but, at the same time, they interact by activating monosynaptic and polysynaptic circuits (Figure 1).</blockquote> | |||
==== Tmj disorders and posture ==== | |||
It has been shown that changes in the temporomandibular joint (TMJ) can have a direct impact on muscle activity in terms of posture, stability and physical performance.<ref name=":2" /><ref>Moon H.J., Lee Y.K.

According to some researchers, malocclusion, like TMD, can affect the osteoarticular system of the whole body and become a source of persistent pain and favor the development and to become chronic of some postural defects. According to the cited authors, occlusal disturbances can lead to an altered stimulation of the periodontal proprioceptors, causing changes in the tension of the neck muscles and postural muscles and changes in the position of the head, followed by compensatory changes in the anatomical regions in their immediate vicinity. Over time, this can affect the posture, center of gravity position, or foot contact with the ground.<ref name=":0" /><ref name=":11" /><ref name=":12" /><ref>Saccucci M., Tettamanti L., Mummolo S., Polimeni A., Festa F., Tecco S.

<blockquote>[[File:Question 2.jpg|left|50x50px]]This could also be true but at the same time it should be demonstrable in order not to make diagnostic errors such as the one we will present in the section dedicated to 'Occlusion and Posture. Indeed, the patient we will present exclusively reported a masticatory disorder such as to require continuous rehabilitative reconstructions from his dentist. How can we demonstrate this occlusal disturbance at the neuromotor level such that it can also condition the vestibular system, the cerebellum and other brain centres? | |||
<center> | |||

</center> | |||
Faced with a marked asymmetry such as the one shown in Figure 2, we certainly cannot deny a trigeminal disorder which is often related to a malocclusion. In Figure 2A we can see a slight asymmetry of the interferential EMG trace between the right and left masseter as well as the MEPs of the trigeminal root (Figure 2B) as well as the absence of the action potential on the right masseter in the mandibular reflex responses (Figure 2C ). As we will see in the chapters concerning this patient, these abnormal trigeminal electrophysiological responses have nothing to do with occlusal disturbances, much less postural disturbances.</blockquote>However, there is still a gap in scientific knowledge on the relationship between craniofacial structure and spinal postural control in patients with malocclusion. Furthermore, the available documents show problems related to the small number of subjects, the small number of tested parameters or the selection of reliable measurement tools.<ref name=":8" /><ref>Michelotti A., Buonocore G., Manzo P., Pellegrino G., Farella M.

Malocclusion, which these studies focus on, can result from abnormalities in the structure and alignment of the bones of the jaw and mandible in relation to each other or from an abnormal arrangement of the dental arches. | |||
==== Bruxism and Posture ==== | |||
Angle suggested a classification of occlusion and malocclusion based on the anteroposterior position of the first molar and the position of the canines.<ref>Bernabé E., Sheiham A., de Oliveira C.M. Condition-specific impacts on quality of life attributed to malocclusion by adolescents with normal occlusion and Class I, II and III malocclusion.

Management of Temporomandibular Disorders and Occlusion.Mosby; Maryland Heights, MO, USA: 2019.</ref>Malocclusion is often a congenital condition, resulting from hereditary or environmental factors. It is also caused by local factors, such as an abnormal pattern of breathing or postural defects, as well as oral parafunctions such as nail biting or teeth grinding (bruxism).<ref name=":13" />According to Lombardo's analyses, occlusal anomalies occur on average in 56% of the general population.<ref name=":14">Lombardo G., Vena F., Negr P., Pagano S., Barilotti C., Paglia L., Colombo S., Orso M., Cianetti S. Worldwide prevalence of malocclusion in the different stages of dentition: A systematic review and meta-analysis. Eur. J. Paediatr. Dent. 2020;21:115–122.</ref> Their prevalence increases with age. Given their increasing prevalence in later age groups and the consequences they entail, it is reasonable to expect a large number of adult patients who will require complex and expensive multidisciplinary treatment.<ref name=":14" /><ref>Kawala B., Szumielewicz M., Kozanecka A.

<blockquote>[[File:Question 2.jpg|left|50x50px]]Regarding bruxism<ref name=":13" /> we certainly cannot speak of scientific certainties or take into consideration the incidence of bruxism in the population because, as described in the specific chapter concerning our patient '[[Encrypted code: Hyperexcitability of the trigeminal system|Bruxer]]', he had a perfect occlusion and neuromuscular responses apparently up to standard if it hadn't been for the study of the case and have highlighted a neuronal hyperexcitability with the test of the <sub>rc</sub>MIR masseter inhibitory recovery cycle (Figure 3). | |||
<center> | |||
[[File:Recovery cycle.jpeg|500x500px|Figura 3: <sub>rc</sub>MIR in paziente bruxista|center]]'''Figura 3:''' <sub>rc</sub>MIR in brusiste patient | |||
</center> | |||
Although the patient was in a state of neuronal hyperexcitability which affected the entire left leg with stiffness of the upper limbs, he never accused postural problems. With this we want to underline that although there are correlations between different cerebral association areas such as the vestibular, the trigeminal, the midbrain and so on, this does not give the clinician the right to base the diagnosis on these certainties. As, of course, we will repeat repeatedly throughout the 'Normal Science' section to justify the next section which will focus on the aspect of the anomalies and therefore the crisis of the paradigm.</blockquote> | |||
Given the high proportion of patients with malocclusions <ref name=":5" /><ref name=":6" /> and the conflicting reports of these reports, <ref name=":1" /><ref name=":2" /><ref name=":3" /><ref name=":4" /><ref name=":5" /><ref name=":6" /><ref name=":7" /><ref name=":8" /><ref name=":9" /><ref name=":10" /> the need for further knowledge and analysis of individual malocclusions and associated musculoskeletal abnormalities under dynamic and static conditions is reasonable. There is still a lack of research on the effect of occlusion on postural stability and plantar pressure distribution during standing and walking in the same group of adults with Angle Class I, II, and III. | |||
====Contents to refute the correlation==== | |||
As far as the authors contesting the correlation between occlusion and posture are concerned, we can report the results of Giuseppe Perinetti et al.<ref name=":8" /> of 122 subjects, including 86 males and 36 females (age range 10.8 to 16.3 years) who tested negative for temporomandibular disorders or other conditions affecting the stomatognathic systems, with the exception of malocclusion. An assessment of dental occlusion included dentition stage, molar class, overjet, overbite, anterior and posterior crossbite, scissor bite, mandibular crowding, and dental midline deviation. Furthermore, body posture was recorded through static posturography using a vertical force platform. Recordings were performed under two conditions: | |||
# mandibular rest position (RP) | |||
#dental intercuspid position (ICP). | |||
The conclusion was that all posturographic parameters showed great variability and were very similar between recording conditions. Furthermore, a limited number of weakly significant correlations, mainly for the overbite phase, were observed when using multivariate models. | |||
The author's current findings were that regarding the use of posturography as a diagnostic aid for subjects affected by dental malocclusion, they do not support the existence of clinically relevant correlations between malocclusion typology and body posture. | |||
Another interesting article in the group contesting the correlation comes from Benjamin Scharnweber et al.<ref name=":9" /> examined 87 male subjects with a mean age of 25.23 ± 3.5 years (18 to 35 years). The dental models of the subjects were analyzed. Postural control and plantar pressure distribution were recorded from a weight bearing platform. Possible orthodontic and orthopedic influencing factors were determined from a medical history or questionnaire. All tests performed were randomized and repeated three times each for intercuspid position (ICP) and locked occlusion (BO). | |||
In this study, the ICP occlusal position was found to increase body sway in the frontal (p ≤ 0.01) and sagittal (p ≤ 0.03) planes compared to the BO position, whereas all other 29 correlations were independent of position of the occlusion. | |||
For both ICP or BO cases, angle therapy, midline shift, crossbite, or orthodontic therapy was found to have no influence on postural control or plantar pressure distribution (p > 0.05). | |||
In conclusion, the author confirms that persistent dental parameters have no effect on postural sway. Furthermore, postural control and plantar pressure distribution were found to be independent postural criteria. | |||
