| [[File:VEMP.jpg|Figure 1: Vestibula Evoked Myogenic Potentials (see chapter '[[Complex Systems]]'|left|400x400px]]This summary examines the complex relationship between posture, the trigeminal system, and prosthetic rehabilitation in diagnosing orofacial disorders, particularly Temporomandibular Dysfunctions (TMDs), through the lens of vestibular evoked myogenic potentials (VEMPs). VEMPs serve as critical diagnostic tools that evaluate the integration of sensory inputs into motor responses affecting jaw muscles, with broader implications for neurology and rehabilitation.

| | |
| The discussion begins by critically evaluating the debated links between dental occlusion, posture, and temporomandibular disorders, highlighting the need for careful symptom assessment that avoids conventional diagnostic biases. It details how VEMPs, especially those evoked by visual-induced vection, illustrate the neurological connections between sensory perceptions and motor responses, emphasizing the body's complex mechanisms.
| |
| | |
| The text addresses controversies over dental occlusion’s impact on postural stability, presenting varied scientific opinions supported by studies. It also discusses the methodological challenges in studying these relationships, noting the limitations of current research such as small sample sizes and the need for more comprehensive studies.
| |
| | |
| In conclusion, the narrative advocates for an evidence-based approach in diagnosing and treating conditions that integrate dental, postural, and neurological factors, calling for more rigorous research to clarify these complex relationships. This overview not only highlights the role of VEMPs in understanding craniofacial and postural interrelations but also considers the broader clinical implications in neurology, orthodontics, and physical therapy.{{ArtBy|autore=Gianni Frisardi}}
