Introduction
Balance is the ability to keep the body's center of gravity vertically within the limits of the support surface. (1) The relationship
of the visual system, which is one of the important subcomponents in the provision of balance, with occlusion disorders has been
investigated in recent years. (2,3) Myopia, which is one of the most common refractive errors among visual system disorders,
may lead to poor distance vision and increased balance problems.(4) Although it is not possible to make a clear cause-effect
definition in the relationship between visual problems and malocclusions, it has been shown that malocclusions may increase
the prevalence of myopia(5). Inappropriately treated myopia and temporomandibular joint occlusion disorders may cause
problems in the organization of sensory inputs required for balance.
Methods
The study enrolled 67 participants. Group1(myopia) n=36, Group2 (control) n=31. Myopia was evaluated using a Nidek
autorefractometer device and recorded 30 minutes after cycloplegic drops were instilled into the patients.The occlusion
assessment was performed by the dentist according to the Angle Classification in the sagittal plane, using a mirror and probe in
the dental unit and under reflector light. Biodex Balance System was used to assess balance, and participants were evaluated
with …
Results
There was no statistically significant difference between the right (RO) and left occlusion(LO) class distributions of Group 1 and
Group 2 subjects (For RO: χ²(5, N=67)=4.04, p=0.553; for LO: χ²(5, N=67)=4.88, p=0.458). Statistically significant differences were
observed between RO and LO classes for losforward (F=33.34, p<0.001), (F=14.86, p<0.001) and losbackward (F=22.10, p<0.001),
(F=11.39, p<0.001) parameters.When the relationship between the degree of right refractive error (RRE) in the …
Discussion
According to the results of the study, it was observed that different occlusion classes affected the stability limits especially in the
forward and backward directions. In myopic subjects, a significant negative increase was observed in the transverse stability
limits as the refractive error increased. In addition to refractive errors, it can be said that occlusion disorders are also effective on
balance.
