Impact of occlusal proprioception on static postural balance. [PDF]

open access: yesHeliyon, 2023
Conflicting results on the effects of occlusal proprioceptive information on standing sway have been reported in the literature, partly due to the heterogeneity of the occlusal criterion studied and the experimental protocol used. In this study, occlusal functions, different mandibular positions and visual conditions were used to investigate the ...
