The Role of Posturography in the Diagnosis of Temporomandibular Disorders and Their Impact on Body Posture.

ABSTRACT: Background: Posturography is a diagnostic method used to evaluate postural stability by recording body sway and the distribution of pressure on the ground. Temporomandibular disorders (TMDs) involve musculoskeletal and neuromuscular dysfunctions affecting the temporomandibular joint, masticatory muscles, and associated structures. Given the anatomical and functional connections between the stomatognathic system and postural control mechanisms, this study aimed to assess whether TMDs influence body posture and balance as measured by posturographic parameters. Methods: 75 volunteers, aged 19-48, were included. The TMD group (n = 45) was diagnosed based on the Diagnostic Criteria for Temporomandibular Disorders (DC/TMD), and the control group (n = 30) showed no sig
