Indicators of body postural balance plotted in time during the total occlusal reconstruction (pilot study)

Aims – to study the dynamics of postural balance indicators in the process of total reconstruction of dentition occlusion.

Materials and methods. The prospective study included 48 patients receiving dental orthopedic treatment for pathology of hard dental tissues and partial absence of teeth. Monitoring of postural status was carried out according to stabilometric studies and photometry of the direction and angular values of deviations of the general center of gravity of the body, the centers of gravity of body regions and the lines of their boundaries.

Results. Before treatment, the examined patients were characterized by a ventral shift in the general center of gravity (5,07±0,62º) and the center of gravity of the cervical spine (5,50±0,75º), a shift in the center of gravity of the lumbosacral spine to the right (5,92±0,59º), significant inclination of the biauricular (7,09±0,57º), biacromial (8,31±0,84º), superior bicondylar (8,73±0,75º) lines in the frontal plane and clavioscapular (8,08±1,03º), bispinal (8,50±0,69º) lines – in the sagittal plane, as well as a pronounced decrease relative to the known norms of the statokinesiogram area indicators (273,06±82,62 mm² in test with eyes closed), the average position of the center of pressure in the frontal (–1,43±2,01 mm in the test with eyes closed) and sagittal (–36,94±7,39 mm and –28,17±4,48 mm in tests with open and closed eyes, respectively) axes. As the occlusal balance is restored using orthopedic dental methods, normalization of the values of all of the listed parameters has been recorded, with the exception of the angle of inclination of the upper bicondylar line.

Conclusions. The angles of inclination of the pelvis and head in the frontal and sagittal planes, the asymmetry of the belt of the upper limbs and the range of fluctuations in the center of pressure of the feet along the sagittal and frontal axes are informative indicators of postural compensation for changes in the position of the lower jaw and disturbances in the occlusal balance of the dentition. To correct the corresponding posturological disorders, it is advisable to organize an interdisciplinary approach in the management of orthopedic dental patients with chiropractors, rehabilitation therapists, kinesiologists, and osteopaths.
